Community Water Supply

Empowering Water Scarcity in Remote Areas

In some water-scarce and electricity-deficient areas of the world, people face great difficulties in accessing water for daily living. Due to the lack of electricity, people often have to travel long distances to rivers, lakes, and streams to manually collect water. Additionally, the lack of necessary filtration means that water hygiene conditions are concerning.

LEO Solar Solution for Community Water Supply

LEO solar water pumping system is also used to solve residential and community water supply issues. By using the solar water pump system to draw water from rivers, lakes or wells, and then applying necessary filtration or purification based on water quality, supplemented by water tower storage, where water storage replaces electricity storage, it is the most convenient and economical way to effectively solve the water supply problems for residents in remote areas.

How the System Works

The system taps into renewable solar power to pump water for daily use. Whether for drinking, cooking or sanitation, it provides a sustainable water supply. Water can be stored in reservoirs, ensuring uninterrupted access even at night or during cloudy weather.

Build Your Unique Community Water Supply Solar Pumping System

Follow these key steps to design the right system for your community:

STEP 01

Assess Electricity and Backup Options

  • whether the community has mains electricity
  • whether there is an emergency diesel generator
  • how many people are in the community in total.
Based on these factors, design the corresponding power generation and supply scheme:
  • during the day, try to use solar panels for power generation and supply;
  • on rainy days or at night, use municipal power or diesel generators for power generation and supply as a supplement.

STEP 02

Calculate Reservoir Capacity

The community is generally equipped with a reservoir, and we need to calculate the capacity of the reservoir.

Assuming that the community has 2,000 people and each person requires 50L of water per day, then we need to be equipped with a reservoir with a capacity of 100m³, which can just meet the water consumption of 2,000 people in the community for one day.

STEP 03

Determine Water Source

We need to determine where the water source of the pump comes from:
  • Shallow wells
  • Deep wells
  • Rivers
  • Lakes
  • Ponds
  • Storage tanks
  • Municipal water systems
Make it essential to match your water source with the appropriate pump for optimal performance.

STEP 04

Calculate the Pump Head

Assuming the water source is from a well, then we need to determine the distance between each equipment. The following are the aspects to be considered:
  • The vertical height from the municipal water intake point to the water outlet point
  • The total pipeline length from the water intake point to the water outlet point
  • The relative distance between the solar panels, the inverter, the water pump and the top of the reservoir
Based on the above information, we can calculate the head of the pump you need.

STEP 05

Calculate the Pump Flow

In addition, we need to obtain the local altitude, latitude and longitude information of the installation site to determine the local effective sunshine time.

If the local effective sunshine time = 5h, and the known capacity of the reservoir is 100m³, then the required pump flow rate Q = 20m³/h can be calculated for you.

STEP 06

Recommend One-stop Solar Water Pumping System

We will select the pump model suitable for you based on the already determined head (m) + flow (m³/h), and match the corresponding controller, solar panel, cable wire and other configurations.
