Abstract:
Focusing on the task of pumping water, Water Lifting serves either as a stand-alone reference text or as a valuable companion for the publications in this series that focus more on the subject of ensuring primary access to potable water. Demand Responsive Approaches give village communities the power to choose which type of technology they want for their water supply facilities. Villages are also responsible for the management of the systems and have to take into consideration costs for operation, maintenance and major repairs as well as the reliability. To arrive at a sensible choice, it is necessary that the communities are aware of the technical, financial and institutional implications of their technology preferences. This book gives information on the different technology options for pumping water (point sources or piped systems) in an easy-to-read format. It lists possible managerial models for provision of services and O&M through the private sector. Technical fact sheets catalogue the most common hand pumps used in rural water.
