How much power is required for water pumping?
The amount of power that is required for
a solar water pumping system, depends
on the quantity of water to be pumped,
the rate at which it is to be pumped and
the total head at which the system must
operate.

Proposed implementation Overview- Sizing the Reservoir
Several factors are taken into consideration in sizing this particular rural water supply
system. Enquiries on existing similar projects in the state suggest that a standard of
between 20,000 to 25,000 gallons has been applied in many non-solar water projects.
If this is a projected daily consumption for the community then assuming the pumping
system activates twice a days a pump flow of about 8m3/hr(1m3=250gallons)
Will be required to achieve this, a huge capacity feat and currently out of the range of
many commercially available submersible solar pumps.
With this in view the design proposed is alternatively based on 15,000 gallons/day
productions with three pumping streams at 3m3/hr in service for a maximum of 10hrs
every 24hours

Proposed implementation Overview- Reliability and fail-over
The remote nature of these facilities and level of technical support locally available
are key factors taken into consideration is this design, this informs the use of two
independent pump streams proposed each capable to delivering 10,000 gallons of
water to the reservoir at full capacity.
Furthermore the two pump streams also provides the much needed scalability of the
entire system , allowing us upgrade the systems by providing additional pump
streams one-by-one as demand requires and funding permits.
