Solar Powered Water Pumping Systems
In most rural area of the world,the agricultural sector is facing an energy crisis, as increasing electricity demand from urban areas results in frequent shortages and blackouts. As most irrigation canals are below ground level, requiring the use of pumps to lift water to the fields, the energy crisis in turn lead to disruptions in the regular irrigation scheduling of crops, which consequently decreased crop yields.
As the cost of pumping was expected to increase as well, a low-cost alternative source of energy was needed to ensure farmers have a reliable system to pump and irrigate.
GPOWER intervened and introduced a solar-powered irrigation system in the China to lift water from below-ground conduits and irrigate crop fields. Farmers and members of the Water User Association were also trained on the use and maintenance of the system to ensure its continuity.
This green technology reduced the global agriculture vulnerability to energy supply, shocks and shortages, and water scarcity concerns and the food-water-energy nexus in the Delta was strengthened, for the sustainable improvement of agricultural productivity in the context of water scarcity and climatic changes.
The system reduced the negative environmental impacts, decreased soil pollution from diesel spill-overs and decreased green-house gas emissions
