Solarized Water Pumps Unveiled to Deliver Up to 450,000 Liters
The solarized water pumps were officially handed over from UNDP Sudan to the State Water Corporation of Kassala on August 8th. Three more solarized water pumps have
Currently, there are many projects aiming at implementing solar water pumping systems in Sudan such as Solar for Agriculture; an ongoing project that aims at promoting the use of solar water pumps for irrigation in Sudan, by targeting 1468 solar pumps in the Northern state, the project expected to be concluded in the year 2021 [6].
This fosters self-reliance, reduces dependence on aid, and jumpstarts economic recovery. With support from the Crisis Bureau and Regional Bureau for Arab States, UNDP in Sudan has successfully constructed solar powered water yards and solarized water distribution points in 30 locations throughout the country since the outbreak of conflict.
This is the reality UNDP is working to create in Sudan. By solarizing water distribution pumps, UNDP is helping to deliver the following benefits: Uninterrupted water supply: No more relying on grid electricity or expensive fuel – the sun's power keeps water flowing consistently, even in remote areas.
This has made clean water accessible to a million people in Sudan, with a focus on areas with a large number of internally displaced people and highly strained host communities. Solarizing water distribution is not just about technology, for many it's a lifeline.
