  ABSTRACT: The drinking water supply in the Yopougon-Koweït neighborhood of Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire), is experiencing operational difficulties. This study aims to optimize the network’s hydraulic operation. The data is based on the network plan and water consumption volumes. First, the operation of the distribution network was simulated using Epanet software, and then strategies for optimizing the network were proposed. Water requirements for Yopougon-Koweït are estimated at 6278 m3/day in 2022 for a population of 48,293 and 9640 m3/day in 2037 for an estimated population of 74,151. Two technical optimization solutions are proposed: The first is the construction of a 3854 m3 storage reservoir at a cost of 2.44 billion CFA. The second is the installation of two pumps with flow rates of 100 l/s and 70 l/s, which would cost 207.58 million CFA. This study reveals the need for targeted technical interventions to ensure sustainable and equitable access to water.
