Water is Life

Clean drinking water is a major problem in developing countries. Water-borne diseases are rampant in economically depressed rural areas because clean running water (typically provided by the municipalities), is simply not available. The only alternative is to install hand pumps or deep wells (drilled wells) to draw clean water from the ground. The depth of the potable water table varies from 20 to 600 feet (~ 6 to 180 meter) depending on the region and local topography. Hand pumps are normally installed for obtaining water at the maximum depth of 130 feet (~ 40 meters.)  Over 130 feet deep wells (drilled wells) are installed with pumps which can go deeper than 3,000 feet (910 m).
