Water pumping

Context

Pumping of water for domestic and productive uses has been difficult to maintain in Tanzania. This challenge is highly attributed by the higher costs of pumping water using conventional means such as diesel generators and electricity.

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) technologies have enabled rural communities of Tanzania to apply this technology for lighting, water pumping, charging of cell phones, etc. Community water projects using solar pumps have benefitted from reduced running costs as compared to diesel or electric water pumps.

United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is looking for member of the CTCN Network that can provide technical services related to catalysing low cost green technologies for sustainable water service delivery in Kenya.

The Climate Technology Centre Network (CTCN), Water Sector Trust Fund (WSTF) and UNEP-DTU Partnership are engaged in a process of  catalyzing low cost green technologies for sustainable water service delivery in Kenya.

Energy conversion for water pumping.Technology consists of rotary blades to convert the wind energy into mechanical energy for water pumping. Blades are designed in relation to the energy desired to pump the water about 2-3 meters long. The switching on and off is done manually to pump the water but intends to use a floater in automation. Device can pump 6000 liters per 8 hours of good wind.

Water services available for the poor in Kenya are often inadequate, unsafe and unsustainable. Climate change is expected to further impact water availability and infrastructure​. There is a need to determine the technical and financial feasibility of selected green technologies for improved water resources and climate-proofed infrastructure.
