"A Journey along the Waterline", tells the story of Fadel Ndaw, who, as a child, fetched water from the standpipe to help his mother and went on to become a hydraulic engineer, graduating from ENGEES (École nationale du génie de l'eau et de l'environnement de Strasbourg).

This autobiographical account not only retraces his career but also highlights the crucial importance of water for development. Through captivating anecdotes, it explores various aspects of water management, from its collection to the realization of complex water supply and sanitation projects in urban and rural environments. Each chapter provides an overview of the challenges and successes in implementing reforms and projects in Senegal, Burkina Faso, South Africa, Egypt, Morocco, and Côte d'Ivoire.

The lessons learned from this book will inspire practitioners in the sector and, above all, young professionals in their journeys, helping to better protect water resources, promote water for peace, initiate structuring reforms, and bring sustainable solutions for the supply of drinking water and sanitation to populations.
