Drinking water testing and monitoring in Dajç commune



MNSH continues its support to flooded zones. Two special teams of MNSH compound by trained volunteers and water specialists and in collaboration with Public Health Inspectorate are continuing to monitor the water supply systems and water wells in all villages of commune of Dajc.

Commune of Dajç was one of most effected areas from flood and nearly all water supply systems in this commune were contaminated. Cleaning and disinfection of water supply systems had just been done and now cleaning and chlorination of water wells is running. More than 500 kg of Na hypochlorite and Ca hypochlorite has been offered by MNSH to commune.

Every day MNSH teams together with water specialists and representatives of commune are taking samples of water from water wells and water supply systems and realizing the needed laboratory analyses. Results of the analyses are shown to the commune and Shkodra district Authorities , who then decide to inform population on the conditions of the drinking water.

MNSH would like to thank the Malteser Hospitaldienst Austria and the ambassador of the Order of Malta for supporting these activities of MNSH to flooded zones.
