An electric pump into a water tower takes advantage of the four hours of power and allows reserve capacity for extended outages plus dwell time for chlorination. USAID should have grants to help with the infrastructure. Can't have too much water at a health clinic. |
That was going to be my next recommendation, get a well dug, especially if it's going to be a long term or reaccouring mission.
