ABSTRACT: Since the 1980s, the city of Dakar has been facing a significant water supply deficit due to rapid population growth. To address this issue, certain communities have implemented autonomous water supply systems utilizing submerged pumps. However, these systems are plagued by a major drawback: frequent pump breakdowns. The objective of this study is to identify the causes behind these breakdowns and propose technical solutions to enhance the reliability of these systems. To achieve this goal, an analysis of the pumping systems utilized in Dakar was conducted, and user interviews were employed to gather insights into system performance. This research has enabled the development of a highly effective method for secure management during the operation of submerged pumps, which is outlined in this article.
