Col. Saheb, Lift pumping ...

Published by

Col. Saheb, Lift pumping would be a solution. In this area is the flow of the river fast or placid. If placid it could be deep, but if fast it would be shallow. If shallow, you may need to construct a small coffer dam to collect the water for pumping. 

Use vertical turbine pump for pumping the water.

Use HDPE pipes. these are good and lasting. The treatment plant, which also would be simple, would be nearer the point of use and would consist of filtration followed by disinfection. If chlorine is not available nearby easily then only use UV. 

If electricity is a problem, then you may try renewable sources like solar and wind. 

Plan for 200 litres per person. 

Best wishes for your endeavours.
