A practical timeline
Work in Progress
This is a practical index of steps to follow in your solar water pumping project, with links to some reference documents for each step.
Most of the steps are common to any water supply project, regardless of the pumping technology used. Depending on the stage of your project (new or retrofitted solar water point, monitoring of existing one or others), you can start at a different point in this timeline.
