Abstract
This project proposes the development of a solar-powered
water pumping system designed to extract water from a
borehole, supplying it to nearby households and a rice farm.
The system aims to provide a reliable and sustainable water
source, enhancing domestic water access and agricultural
productivity. By utilizing renewable solar energy, the project
seeks to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, thereby decreasing
greenhouse gas emissions and contributing to climate change
mitigation. The initiative is expected to improve community
health and economic well-being while promoting
environmental sustainability.
