In rural regions, hand pumps are a relatively low-cost option that offer access to a safe source of drinking water. They can access water from around 100 meters beneath the surface and form a seal to protect it from contamination. The cost of installation depends on the depth, which also influences the amount of effort needed for the process.
Submersible pumps are thin cylindrical pumps with a depth of 5 feet, which are placed at the bottom of the well to push the water up into a pressure tank through thin pipes. Nonetheless, the installation involves a complex process and must be handled by a professional team.
