The WACA Project in The Gambia focuses on critical infrastructure investments to restore and reprofile the Kotu Stream to reduce flood risks, pollution, and improve public health. Our infrastructure activities combine grey solutions (engineered structures) and green solutions (nature-based defenses) to deliver comprehensive protection.

Key infrastructure interventions include:
•    Widening and reprofiling the Kotu Stream to improve water flow and mitigate flooding.
•    Constructing primary and secondary drainage systems to prevent stormwater accumulation and manage runoff safely.
•    Building bridges and improving connectivity across different parts of the Stream for easier, safer access.
•    Restoring mangroves and wetlands at the downstream to act as natural buffers against flooding and erosion.
•    Installing hydrometric equipment (rain gauges and water level recorders) to enable real-time flood monitoring and early warning systems.
