Rain water harvesting

Daily water supply is essential for human rights and dignity, but there are lots of people suffering lack of water. The remote villages in the rain forest have the same problem even though water is abundant in those areas. The people in the villages neither have the idea, the money, the materials, the technology, the power or the electricity. We are supplying those things for them collaborating with the missionary work of Presbyterian Church of Luganville, Santo of Vanuatu (Pastor Won, Tony;wontonio@hotmail.com). Daily water supplies of the remote villages in the rain forest are provided by rain and spring water harvesting and are very successful. The harvesting and supplying systems are constructed with local materials for low cost and efficient maintenance. We study the pumping of water from the spring to the hill top villages without the electricity and fabricate and test ram pumps for coming applications in remote villages.
