Use a PAPA Pump to 'Store Water Sustainably' and replace Mains Water
Drought or low rainfall conditions force Communities around the world to use expensive fuel sources to pump water further, impose water use limitations and abstract from already low watercourses causing damage to the environment.
But how can Local and National Governments find inexpensive, low maintenance systems which can capture and sustainably pump water long distances when there is excess water available and not when drought conditions strike…?
IMPROVE LONG TERM WATER RESILIENCE- STORE WATER SUSTAINABLY
SOLUTION- PAPA Pump offers a low cost, proven zero energy pumping systems for capturing flood water from land drains and streams or rivers.
PAPA Pumps can be activated ONLY when there is flood water flowing over a dangerous 'high water mark' in any watercourse.
Many 100's of PAPA Pumps are already working globally start pumping potentially damaging flood water away from 'at risk' streams to storage for treatment and reuse.
In this image, when in flood, several PAPA Pumps can automatically start operation to capture flood water and allow it to be used, replacing valuable mains water as well as reducing flood impacts downstream.
Dozens of these Pump installations could cost effectively move millions of litres of water in networks or multiple or individual pumps operating noiselessly.
The Pumps can move water many kilometers away from flooded areas of any catchment, allowing dynamic sharing with areas not 'at risk' and wider storage infrastructure
REDUCE CARBON AND FINANCIAL COSTS- REPLACE MAINS WATER SUSTAINABLY
Once the flood water has been pumped away from 'at-risk' areas, communities can use it any number of ways. With simple treatment, this water can even replace many uses which expensive Mains Water is currently used for.
PAPA Pumps can move water long distances for toilet flushing, vehicle washing and general horticultural use - so less water needs to be abstracted in drought or expensively treated mains water can be replaced.
The PAPA pump system offers minimal maintenance with only one moving part. Installed in remote areas, the Pump system can operate in all weathers with simple installation and good debris tolerance.
Here a perfect use of flood water is being pumped from dangerously overflowing rivers and streams for storage and use in summer on this green roof.
