    This document outlines several water infrastructure investment opportunities in Zimbabwe. It provides background on the country's declining water sector and growing water needs. Several potential projects are listed that require private investment, including dams, irrigation systems, and water supply projects. The government's responsibilities are outlined as facilitating land acquisition and providing oversight, while investors would be responsible for funding, construction, operation, and maintenance. Phase 1 priority projects and some ongoing projects requiring further investment are also identified.

    decline exposed the vulnerability (status)
    of a water sector based on state funding as
    opposed to commercially managed water
    utilities.

    Some cities and towns in Zimbabwe are


    surviving under water shortage stress due
    to the inadequacy of their existing water
    sources as these town and cities grow in size
    and population. As an example, the City of
    Harare and its environs has a population
    of 2.2 million and is estimated to have a
    water demand of 1,400ML/day but the City
    is currently able to supply 400ML/day due
    to water treatment infrastructure capacity
    challenges. The City of Bulawayo has a
    population of 1.2 million and is estimated
    to have a demand of 165ML/day and is
    also currently supplying 100ML/day due to
    depleting water sources.

    The country has a total irrigation potential


    area of 5 million hectares that can be
    developed at an estimated cost of US$10.6
    billion. However, the current functional area

    food requirements are estimated to be 2.2 and this will require a yield of water of about
    3.96 billion to be developed. With average
    yield being a third of developed storage,
    the capacity of approximately 12 billion m3
    needs to be developed.

    Water Resources Infrastructure Conferences
    Due to the need to develop potential water
    projects, the Government has again found
    it necessary to invite investors to take part
    in developing some projects with potential
    viability to supply water either for urban,
    mining or agricultural use. The list of the
    projects that an investor can decide to invest
    in are listed in the following section:

    POTENTIALLY VIABLE PROJECTS


    AVAILABLE FOR INVESTMENT

    The need for implementing projects using


    financing models preferred by the Investor
    for example, the Build Own Operate and
    Transfer (BOOT) model relieves fiscal
    pressure on the government and brings
    in efficiency by the private sector through
    improved technologies. Several players can
    also be brought to invest in several projects
    simultaneously. Projects are also completed
    timeously so that investors can recoup their
    investment in the shortest possible time. The
    reduced pressure on Government allows
    government to focus on its core business of
