We have been interested in this subject for a long time because we are convinced that a better knowledge of the volumes of water withdrawn from a borehole will contribute to finance the continuity of the water distribution service and the development of rural areas. VERGNET HYDRO has developed its own range of hand (or foot-) pumps equipped with flow meters in order to know the volumes of water fetched. Vergnet hydro has also developed a plug and play connection kit equipped with a flow meter for INDIA pumps, which are the most common pumps. However, this kit requires a higher elevation of the fountain to compensate for the meter's pressure losses.
These systems (see photos) are currently been deployed on the field in Burkina Faso and Mali.
