Solar Pumping for Domestic Use
Problem Statement
- In remote regions and rough terrains, accessibility to water is challenged by complex geographies, with the source often in the valley while the villages are located much above.
- Although the village is often electrified, there is no source of energy near the water source.
- Women and children carry 15–30 liters of water, roughing large distances of hilly and forest terrain to meet their daily needs.
- Without a reliable water supply, households struggle to meet basic needs such as drinking, cooking, and cleaning, perpetuating cycles of inefficiency and hardship, especially for women and children, who are often primarily responsible for water collection.
- Gram Oorja installs community-scale solar water pumping projects to provide water for domestic usage for such villages.
Bridging The Water Access Gap
In small hamlets and remote communities, access to reliable water sources remains a challenge. Households often depend on labour-intensive methods, such as manual water collection from distant sources. Solar water pumps for domestic use offer a sustainable, clean, and cost-effective solution to address these challenges.
Gram Oorja’s complete solution includes not only the solar pump but also a comprehensive pipeline distribution network and strategically placed stand posts for easy access. This integrated approach ensures that every resident has a reliable and convenient water supply within two minutes of their dwellings.
Remote village support
Our service extends beyond installation. Recognizing that domestic water systems are more service-intensive, we provide ongoing maintenance and support to ensure the system operates smoothly over its lifespan. This dedication to service guarantees reliability and long-term impact.
With numerous successful installations, we focus on empowering remote communities with year-round access to water, reducing the dependency on traditional, high-cost methods while encouraging sustainable development.
