Preliminary study for investing in water supply systems in rural areas of Albania
In the first phase of this study, igr mapped, with the assistance of GIS maps, the current situation regarding drinking water supply in the rural areas. On the basis of this information, it was determined in the second study phase what additional investments and actions were required to guarantee a universal water supply. As the necessary investments exceeded the available resources, the required measures were ranked in order of priority in the last phase of the study.
The study was commissioned and funded by the Keditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW).

Water supply and sewerage masterplan for Albania
Albania is rich in water resources, which are excellently suited to securing drinking water. However, water supply and wastewater disposal systems are inadequate in many parts of the country. Supply failures are mainly the result of the poor condition of the infrastructure and the sometimes low connection rates to the public supply network, as well as the inefficient operation and incorrect maintenance of plants.
The goal of the master plan is to bring water supply and wastewater disposal in Albania up to EU standards, and to support the Albanian government with investment planning. The project was funded by Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW) and supported by the international donor community.
In a number of project phases the legal, institutional and political background conditions for the water sector, as well as the current socio-economic situation were analysed; an extensive data survey of all water supply companies carried out; and overarching designs for water supply and wastewater disposal and treatment in urban and rural areas developed, as well as necessary investments determined. With the involvement of the Albanian ministries and institutions, as well as the international donor community, a prioritisation strategy was developed, whose criteria determined the order of investment, which was summarised in short-, medium- and long-term investment plans.
The master plan was developed with GIS and handed over to the Albanian government as a GIS-based planning instrument.

Water supply and environmental protection measures at Lake Shkodra, Albania
Shkodra (approximately 100,000 inhabitants) and the municipally linked village of Shiroka lie directly on the bank of the largest lake in the Balkan peninsular, Lake Shkodra, which due to its bird protection area is nationally important.
The project goals are to secure a sustainable and reliable drinking water supply for the city of Shkodra; and the improvement of the municipal sewage network as well as the construction of a new sewage system and a waste water treatment plant for Shiroka – to prevent the discharge of untreated waste water into Lake Shkodra. Furthermore, the relevant municipal company UK Shkodra will be transformed into a modern, self-financing public utility company.
The project components include the planning and invitation to tender for the investment measures, the construction supervision following the FIDIC Red book, and measures to strengthen the operational viability of the public utility company.
The project was funded through a partnership of the German Financial Cooperation with Albania, the Austrian Development Cooperation, as well as the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs.

The goal of this financial support is the long-term financing of the repair and extension of public water supply and wastewater disposal in the Republic of Croatia.
