O acesso \u00e0 \u00e1gua pot\u00e1vel continua sendo um desafio di\u00e1rio para milh\u00f5es de pessoas em toda a \u00c1frica. Em muitas comunidades carentes, os moradores dependem de vendedores ambulantes de \u00e1gua, que cobram pre\u00e7os exorbitantes, chegando a pagar at\u00e9 20 vezes a tarifa oficial da concession\u00e1ria. Outros dependem de torneiras p\u00fablicas prec\u00e1rias, com longas filas e frequentes avarias. As concession\u00e1rias perdem receita. As comunidades pagam muito caro por muito pouco.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Como pode Medidores de \u00e1gua pr\u00e9-pagos STS<\/a> Transformar o acesso \u00e0 \u00e1gua nessas comunidades?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

O Medidor de \u00e1gua pr\u00e9-pago STS<\/a> de Medi\u00e7\u00e3o TY<\/a> Leva \u00e1gua pot\u00e1vel a \u00e1reas carentes de forma acess\u00edvel, confi\u00e1vel e transparente.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Primeiro, eliminar a explora\u00e7\u00e3o por parte dos fornecedores.<\/strong> Quando uma comunidade n\u00e3o possui hidr\u00f4metro, os moradores compram \u00e1gua de fornecedores privados que cobram pre\u00e7os exorbitantes. medidores pr\u00e9-pagos STS<\/a> Instaladas em torneiras p\u00fablicas ou liga\u00e7\u00f5es individuais, as concession\u00e1rias definem a tarifa. Os moradores pagam a tarifa oficial via transfer\u00eancia banc\u00e1ria m\u00f3vel. Sem intermedi\u00e1rios. Sem pre\u00e7os abusivos.<\/span><\/p>

Em segundo lugar, a disponibilidade previs\u00edvel de \u00e1gua.<\/strong> As torneiras p\u00fablicas tradicionais costumam secar quando as concession\u00e1rias n\u00e3o conseguem receber pagamentos ou recuperar custos. O modelo pr\u00e9-pago da STS garante que a receita chegue \u00e0 concession\u00e1ria antes do consumo de \u00e1gua. Assim, as concession\u00e1rias t\u00eam os recursos necess\u00e1rios para manter a infraestrutura e a \u00e1gua continua a fluir.<\/span><\/p>

Terceiro, inclus\u00e3o financeira.<\/strong> Os cr\u00e9ditos STS s\u00e3o adquiridos por meio de plataformas de pagamento m\u00f3vel como M-Pesa, MoMo e outras. Isso significa que mesmo moradores sem conta banc\u00e1ria podem acessar os servi\u00e7os de \u00e1gua. Eles podem recarregar pequenos valores diariamente ou semanalmente \u2014 a partir de alguns d\u00f3lares \u2014 de acordo com sua disponibilidade financeira.<\/span><\/p>

Quarto, propriedade comunit\u00e1ria.<\/strong> Quando os moradores pagam diretamente pela \u00e1gua, eles a valorizam mais. A transpar\u00eancia da medi\u00e7\u00e3o pr\u00e9-paga incentiva a conserva\u00e7\u00e3o e reduz o desperd\u00edcio. Comunidades que antes reclamavam do \u201csistema antigo\u201d agora protegem ativamente \u201cseus\u201d pontos de \u00e1gua.<\/span><\/p>

Quinto, implanta\u00e7\u00e3o escal\u00e1vel.<\/strong> medidores pr\u00e9-pagos STS<\/a> Instala\u00e7\u00e3o em redes de tubula\u00e7\u00e3o existentes. Sem necessidade de escava\u00e7\u00e3o. Sem novas tubula\u00e7\u00f5es principais. Sem custos elevados de moderniza\u00e7\u00e3o da infraestrutura. As concession\u00e1rias podem expandir rapidamente seus servi\u00e7os para bairros anteriormente n\u00e3o atendidos.<\/span><\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

No Zimb\u00e1bue, os moradores inicialmente se opuseram aos medidores pr\u00e9-pagos, considerando-os uma "armadilha", mas agora afirmam que n\u00e3o querem voltar ao sistema antigo. Em Uganda, a Companhia Nacional de \u00c1gua e Esgoto (NWSC) est\u00e1 instalando medidores pr\u00e9-pagos em assentamentos informais de Kampala para substituir os vendedores ambulantes, que cobravam pre\u00e7os exorbitantes, e melhorar a arrecada\u00e7\u00e3o de receitas. Em Ruanda, torneiras p\u00fablicas pr\u00e9-pagas est\u00e3o eliminando filas e proporcionando acesso \u00e0 \u00e1gua a pre\u00e7os acess\u00edveis, com integra\u00e7\u00e3o de pagamentos por celular.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
