~ 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 depending on the depth of water table. The depth of the potable water table varies from 20 to 3000 feet (~ 6 to 910 meters) 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 3000 feet (910 m). ~Water Hand Pump~ Until recent centuries, all artificial wells were pumpless dug wells which were excavated with diameters large enough to accommodate men with shovels digging down to below the water table. Such wells were at times lined with stones or bricks; extending this lining into a wall around the well to reduce both contamination and injuries by falling into the well. Modern dug wells are hand pumped. While the cost of drilling is directly proportional to the depth where water can be pumped from, the average cost of installing a hand pump, along with maintenance of the hand pump for 5 years is approximately 0. ~Deep Well (Drilled Wells)~ Deep Wells (Drilled wells) can get water from a much deeper level by mechanical drilling ...
