Sand Abstraction technology
Dabane Trust has pioneered a simple, low cost water abstraction system that is suitable to use in arid and semi-arid areas. In these areas the rivers flow only for a few days in each rainy season. However many of them have a significant depth of sand which can retain water in sufficient quantities to provide year round water. Because the water is held in the sand it is naturally filtered and is thus clear, fresh that is clean enough for even safe domestic use. Over more than fifteen years Dabane Trust has developed simple hand pump systems to draw water from these ostensibly dry rivers, not only for household use but also in sufficient quantity for livestock water and for small-scale irrigation of basic vegetables.
