Hand & Treadle Pumps
Hand-powered pumps are used to deliver water from borehole wells. Drilling borehole wells and installing hand pumps is a low cost and reliable strategy for meeting the clean water needs in many parts of the world.
Treadle pumps are suction pumps that are used by small-holder farmers for irrigating plots of land of an acre or less. They are powered by human effort, with the upper body being stationary and the legs and feet stepping up and down on treadles that are connected to two small piston pumps.
Treadle pumps sits directly above the water source, like a shallow well, and can lift water from a maximum depth of about 23 or 24 feet.
