Water Well Process

We successfully implement water well projects. The team identifies processes to locate underground water aquifers and then drill to the right depth to get sweet water. Where needed, solar power panels and submersible pumps are installed. We at Give the Needy Foundation continue our efforts in providing water wells to these remote areas, where they are deprived of their essential need for water. Thank you for joining us in this journey. 

What is a Sumar pump? After the deep digging, construction, and installation of all the tall, large pipes, the system is attached to a motor. In reality, it is the complete constructed water well, which includes a motor (locally called a Sumar pump) powered by the large solar system to operate. All of our wells also have six sections of taps, so villagers have easy access to water. 

•   Pump (motor / Sumar pump): Needed to lift the water up from deep underground. It’s the mechanism that brings the water to the surface.

   •   Taps: Once the water is lifted, it is distributed through pipes to multiple taps, so several families can collect water at the same time.

The pump/motor makes the well function, and the taps make the water accessible and convenient. Water wells used to be built at a depth of over 100 feet and cost more than $1,200 or more in the past, locals had to rely on camels—or their own strength—to pull up a single bucket of water, which could take over 10 minutes of exhausting labor.

Now, with the introduction of submersible pumps and solar panels, things have changed dramatically. Solar energy powers the pumps/motor, providing a continuous water supply. Wells are now connected to pipelines that bring water directly into homes through taps.
