Photovoltaic water pumping for Bolivia

Post, H.N. / Garvison, P.

This paper describes the design, installation and performance of photovoltaically-powered water pumping systems which provide portable water to residents of three villages in the Altiplano region of Bolivia. The installation of these systems during August 1986 was the culmination of a cooperative effort between The World Bank, U.S. Department of Energy and the Bolivian government. This project was configured to demonstrate, through pilot systems, the many potential benefits of using photovoltaic water pumping in developing countries. The lessons learned through the procurement and installation of these systems are discussed and the resulting benefits of the project to international lending institutions, U.S. industry, and the Bolivian participants are examined.
