Water Solution Methods
We'll match your donation to the most appropriate water solution method when you sponsor a project.
There are engineering and technical considerations with water movement. Our projects range from a simple hand pump installation to a more complex solar pump installation. Community water supply costs range from US$1,350 to $20,000, depending on the water solution method.
