The Problem
A rural borehole serving several villages depended on a diesel-powered pump, with fuel costs and supply delays limiting how often it could run.
The Design
A solar-powered submersible pump sized to the borehole's depth and yield, feeding an elevated storage tank so water remains available even outside sunlight hours.
Community Engagement
A local water users' committee was set up to manage the storage tank and collect a modest usage fee that covers ongoing maintenance.
The Reality
The borehole now runs on solar power daily rather than depending on fuel deliveries, and the water users' committee reports more consistent water availability.
