This project aimed to enhance water accessibility and promote sustainable energy in high altitude strategic location of Jangthang Kagshung (Dungti), Goyul, Sumdo, and Samed by installing hand pumps, converting a hand pump to a submersible pump, and installing solar water heaters.
Work Completed:
- Hand Pump Installation:
Installed hand pumps at Jangthang Goyul (1), Kagshung (2), and Samed (1) to improve access to clean water. The pumps were fully tested for functionality. - Submersible Pump Conversion at Jangthang Sumdo:
Replaced the hand pump at Sumdo with a submersible pump to improve water extraction efficiency. The system was fully installed and tested. - Solar Water Heater Installation:
Installed three solar water heaters at Jangthang Kagshung to provide eco-friendly hot water solutions. Each system was tested for efficiency.
Outcome:
The hand pumps and submersible pump are operational, providing reliable water access and reducing the need for long-distance fetching. The solar water heaters offer sustainable hot water, promoting energy efficiency.
Conclusion:
The project has successfully improved water access and introduced renewable energy solutions, benefiting the local community. Funded by Wisdom Spring in collaboration with Phen-dey Foundation, USA and the American Himalayan Foundation (AHF), USA.
