Australian Development Gateway

The Australian Development Gateway (ADG) strives to support members of the development community in their efforts to reduce poverty and enhance sustainable development in the Asia Pacific region. The site has been created with participation from members of government, private, academia and non-government organisations. User feedback mechanisms have been incorporated to guide future directions of the site. The site is optimised for low bandwidth access to enable the widest participation throughout the Asia Pacific region.

These notes describe the different types of handpumps and how to install them. For hygienic reasons, it is preferable to install a hand pump that raises drinking water from wells and boreholes, instead of using a bucket and rope.
