Water supply system for high elevated community, source is 500m below
Published on by kabindra pudasaini, Program Manager at WaterAid in Technology
I am looking for any low cost technology for designing a water supply scheme for an elevated location, where water source is about 500m down, Stream source, discharge is sufficient but thinking we have to install pumping (many stages).
Electric cable is around 700m far from the community (Marginalized) for installation of Transformer and Cable connection cost may be high.
Source is North face , shadow zone, not sure can use solar power for pumping. There is not any alternative source for upper part for gravitational flow ( this is the top elevation) , there is 150 HH.
Any one have experience of Designing such WSS?
With best regards,
