Mar 22, 2022 · Objective In sub-Saharan Africa, 45% of the rural population uses boreholes (BHs). Despite recent gains in improved water access and coverage, parallel use of unimproved sources persists. Periodic infrastructure disrepair contributes to non-exclusive use of BHs. Our study describes functionality of BHs in 2014, 2015, and 2016 in 15 rural towns in the Eastern Region of Ghana sourced from three ...
Wurzel (2001) suggests that the absolute maximum delivery rate of a handpump is. 1 cubic metre per hour (m3/hr), or 16.7 l/min, though in reality this is rarely achieved. It is important to note that a water supply borehole may also be deemed to have ‘failed’ if the water provided by it is unsafe for human consumption.
