The total length of the Oghuz-Gabala-Baku water pipeline is 262.5 kilometers. The main line, with a diameter of 2000 millimeters, has a water transmission capacity of 5 cubic meters per second and primarily operates in a gravity-flow regime.
Modern.az reports that to ensure the water supply of the pipeline, 81 operational and 20 observation wells have been drilled in the Oghuz district. Although the productivity of each well was projected at 70 liters per second according to the project, this indicator has currently been increased to 80-90 liters per second in some wells. Permanent monitoring conducted in the observation wells confirms that the dynamics of water resources and discharge rates are higher than anticipated in the project. This indicates that the potential of the source is quite extensive.
Ceyhun Musaoglu, press secretary of the United Water Supply Service for Large Cities, reported that water obtained from 81 sub-artesian wells located in Sincan village of Oghuz district is collected in water intake chambers operating in this village, and from these chambers, it fills two ten-thousand-cubic-meter reservoirs. From the reservoirs, it is transferred via gravity flow to the Oghuz-Gabala-Baku main water pipeline.
The water flowing into the reservoirs is pre-processed and disinfected in the water intake chamber. Subsequently, the water is transported towards the capital via the main pipeline. To ensure stable and safe water transmission along the pipeline, three pressure regulators (in the areas of Oghuz Facilities Complex, 153rd kilometer, and Absheron Facilities Complex) and two pressure-breaking chambers (at the 31st and 158th kilometers) have been installed. The operating regime is monitored and controlled automatically via a modern SCADA control system.
The water pipeline extends through the territory of 8 districts of the country to the capital. The quality of drinking water supplied through the Oghuz-Gabala-Baku pipeline fully complies with international standards set by the World Health Organization and possesses high hygienic indicators.
The water supplied through the pipeline provides quality and sustainable drinking water to parts of Baku city, Absheron, Yasamal, Nasimi, Sabail, Narimanov, Nizami, Khatai, and Binagadi districts, as well as several settlements located along the main line's route. This project is of significant importance for diversifying the capital's water supply and increasing the reliability of its drinking water provision.
