"A Journey along the Waterline", tells the story of Fadel Ndaw, who, as a child, fetched water from the standpipe to help his mother and went on to become a hydraulic engineer, graduating from ENGEES (École nationale du génie de l'eau et de l'environnementde Strasbourg). This autobiographical account not only retraces his career but also highlights the crucial importance of water for development. Through captivating anecdotes, it explores various aspects of water management, from its collection to the realization of complex water supply and sanitation projects in urban and rural environments. Each chapter provides an overview of the challenges and successes in implementing reforms and projects in Senegal, Burkina Faso, South Africa, Egypt, Morocco, and Côte d'Ivoire. The lessons learned from this book will inspire practitioners in the sector and, above all, young professionals in their journeys, helping to better protect water resources, promote water for peace, initiate structuring reforms, and bring sustainable solutions for the supply of drinking water and sanitation to populations.
Fadel Ndaw has just retired from the World Bank as Senior Water and Sanitation Specialist. From 1984 to 1995, he worked for SONED and UNDP in Senegal. Mr. Ndaw then contributed to the success of the urban water and sanitation reform and to the achievement of the MDGs in Senegal through PEPAM until 2011. At the World Bank, he has coordinated major projects that have impacted the lives of millions of people in Africa and the Middle East.
