Solutions We Provide

Pump Stations

Picture
Simply designed economical pump stations can provide consistent sustaining water service for rural communities.

High pressure pumps are often a necessity in the Ecuadorian Andes. 

Spring Protection

Naturally occurring springs often provide the water supply needed for rural Ecuadorian communities.  

Springs offer the advantage of a consistent flow rate, consistent water quality and sometime and adequate elevation to provide water to the community by gravity flow without pumping.

Wells

Picture
Hand-dug or drilled wells must be adequately protected in order to provide water of sustaining quality. Wells should normally be sealed to a depth of 3 meters to prevent the entrance of surface water or low quality ground water. The top slab of the structure should be above flood level and all openings properly sealed to prevent contamination.

​Often sanitary well seals are difficult to obtain in developing countries. Well seals are necessary to protect the water quality and to protect pumps from physical damage.
