Shollar Water

Shollar Water is a significant water source located in the Eastern part of Azerbaijan. It is known for its pristine quality and is a primary source of drinking water for the city of Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan.

History

The Shollar water system was constructed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The project was initiated by the Baku City Duma and was completed in 1917. The water system was named after the Shollar, a river in the northeastern part of Azerbaijan.

Shollar Water System

The Shollar water system is a complex network of pipelines, reservoirs, and pumping stations. The system was designed to transport water from the Shollar and Gudyalchay rivers to the city of Baku. The total length of the water supply system is about 200 kilometers.

Water Quality

The quality of Shollar water is considered to be one of the best in the region. The water is naturally filtered through layers of sand and gravel, which helps to remove impurities and improve its taste. The water is also regularly tested to ensure it meets the highest standards of quality and safety.

Impact on Baku

The Shollar water system has had a significant impact on the city of Baku. Before the system was built, the city relied on wells and cisterns for its water supply. The introduction of the Shollar water system greatly improved the quality and reliability of the city's water supply, contributing to the city's growth and development.

Future Developments

Plans are underway to modernize and expand the Shollar water system. These plans include the construction of new reservoirs and pumping stations, as well as the replacement of old pipelines. These improvements are expected to increase the system's capacity and ensure a reliable supply of water for Baku in the future.
