Borehole pumps: Which one is right for you?

INTRODUCTION

³The earth, the air, the land, and the water are not an inheritance from our forefathers, but on loan from our children. So we have to handover to them at least as it was handed over to us.”

us be part of the global campaign, called ‘Be the change’, which encourages people to take action in their own lives to change the way they use, consume and manage water. Celebrate Water Day today with us on accelerating change to solve the water and sanitation crisis. Our main voices of reason are water gaints such as KOBWA, Brisan, Manzi Drilling and agriculture companies that rely on water; Ubombo Sugar Limited and ESWADE, and other players in the water industry to help us understand water usage and management better.
