The solution to change these desperate conditions that exist in
many regions of Africa and India must be multi-faceted to accommodate a variety
of conditions.
Aakash International provides Afridev Hand Pumps
and India Mark II hand pumps to withstand drought. We wish to prevent the water
drought, not react to it. It’s the only way to actually prevent the drought
cycle from occurring when regional weather patterns change periodically. And it
has been suggested by many scientists that as global warming evolves, drought
cycles will become more common and for longer durations in many regions of the
world that are currently in a water-stressed condition.
In reference, in 2001, the United Nations Environmental
Program (UNEP) asked various organizations to perform an investigation of
groundwater availability in water-short regions of the world. That
investigation was documented in a report entitled: Groundwater Availability
Study for Water-Short Developing Countries, where it was shown there are
significant groundwater assets available even in some of the most drought-prone
areas of the world. Although available, these groundwater assets are not being
used today because often the leaders of drought-prone countries do not possess
the political will to drill water wells for their own people.
Right now, countless communities in over 50 nations are
suffering needlessly because water is scarce, contaminated, or non-existent.
The sad irony is this:
Often there is enough water to save thousands of lives just 100
to 300 feet away. Where? Underground. Therefore we bring Afridev hand pumps and
India Mark II hand pump and equipment to rural areas in order to provide
life-giving sources of water.
Hand pumps are used primarily in developing nations as a
manually powered means of bringing water to the surface from a borehole,
rainwater tank or well.
The main types of hand pumps we offer are the India Mark
II, the India Mark III, and the Afridev deep-well (30 - 40 m deep) pumps.
Village Level Operation and Maintenance (VLOM) refer to low maintenance hand
pumps which can be maintained at a village level, intended to provide reliable
long-term service.
Some of the features of Aakash international
manufactured hand pumps are: Aakash International hand pump so
easy to use, a child can pump up to 5 gallons per
minute. Aakash International hand water pump so durable, it has
a 50-year lifespan. Aakash International hand water is so affordable,
you can install it anywhere you need safe drinking water.
