| Abstract | Despite the fact that boreholes equipped with handpumps are among the simplest of community water supply technologies, much of the investment has been very ineffective in providing for the basic needs of people because of high failure rates. This report describes the results of a WRC project that aimed at overcoming these diverse problems in a cost-effective manner in order to improve the effectiveness of handpump installations in meeting community needs nationwide. |
