Water Lifting Devices: A Handbook

Water Lifting Devices: A Handbook





This book gives an overview of pumps and water lifting devices for small-scale water projects. It provides, in a single volume, a comprehensive overview of water systems, with detailed information on the selection, sizing and procurement of water lifting devices and the energy sources needed to power them. It is aimed both at decision-makers and those who implement drinking-water supply or small-scale irrigation systems. It is hoped the overall beneficiaries will be end-users in rural areas of developing countries, who will gain more accessible, cost-effective and efficient water lifting systems as a result of better planning and procurement decisions.

As well as covering the basic engineering principles, the book also addresses important non-technical aspects of water projects, such as the economics and finance of schemes, operational constraints, irrigation scheduling, gender roles, health and hygiene, and community involvement.
