Handpump drainage channels
I am on a WatSan project in Cuddalore, Tamil Nadu, India and I have a query about the drainage for handpumps. At present, all the handpumps in the area either have no concrete apron or the apron is very cracked and the drainage channel leads nowhere. I was wondering about the possibility of either directing the water into leach pits or recycling it for animal drinking water or irrigation. Is there a recommended distance between the leach pit and the handpump and are there any existing designs available for the recycling of spill water from the pump? Regards,
Jennifer
