In Chad, the lack of drinking water is a real problem in the desert area. This paper focuses on the statistical assessment of water production using a wind source in North-Eastern Chad to serve the population. The statistical analysis method used for estimating wind power density is the Weibull distribution. Two sites were chosen for the study, namely Fada and Amdjarass. The data used is collected over eight years and two statistical tests were used to assess the convergence of the different distributions. Average wind speeds were calculated to assess the energy potential of the sites. At 10m from the ground, the average wind speeds obtained over eight (08) years are 6.11 m/s at Amdjarass with predominant winds from the North East and 5.43 m/s at Fada with predominant winds from the East. This makes the two localities with high wind potential in Chad. An electric water pumping technique was used for water quantity estimation by testing four (04) wind turbines. The GEVMP aerogenerator meets the needs of both sites. Installed on a 55m high mast, this two-blade aerogenerator can provide on average between 3778.3 m3 of water/day to 1511.3 m3 of water/day for a system ranging from 60m to 150m in head at Fada. This corresponds on average to 139.36l/d/pers (60m HMT) to 55.74l/d/pers (150m HMT). As in Amdjarass, the GEVMP aerogenerator can provide between 3986.3 m3 of water/day to 1594.5 m3 of water/day for a system ranging from 60m to 150m in head. This corresponds on average to 129.57l/d/pers (60m HMT) to 51.82l/d/pers (150m HMT).
