Developing Africa's energy potential is directly related to saving water, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the Russia-Africa Economic and Humanitarian Forum. According to him, this potential is far from being fully realized. "The issue of creating water savings is directly related to the development of Africa's hydropower potential, which is far from being fully utilized. This year marks the 55th anniversary of the establishment of the hydroelectric power plant in Aswan, one of the symbols of our country's high-tech cooperation with the African continent," said the head of state. Putin noted that the African Union has declared that the most important task of the year is ensuring sustainable access to clean water. Russia is ready to share with Africans unique Russian technologies for responsible use of water, which will help manage water resources efficiently and carefully. We are talking about land reclamation, planning and construction of irrigation canals and water plants, digital management of water bodies and monitoring of the irrigation network and the areas of loss. "Another company of ours, RusHydro, is ready to help African friends in designing new facilities and modernizing existing power plants. And also to develop modular local generation to supply remote isolated areas of Africa," the Russian President stressed. Energopole at MAX.
