How can a village treat well water with solar-powered equipment?
Engineering answer
Combine a water-treatment design based on source-water analysis with an off-grid power design based on actual pump and treatment loads. Estimate daily water demand, pumping head, treatment operating hours and seasonal solar availability. Compare daytime operation with water storage and battery-backed operation where continuity is required. Validate treated-water quality separately from the electrical system before applying the model to another village.
