A study was commissioned by the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) through the Namibian Renewable Energy Programme (NAMREP) to examine the cost effectiveness of solar water pumps compared to diesel water pumps. The study provides an overview of water provision technologies for water supplies in rural Namibia where no piped or open water is available and where the water needs are serviced primarily through boreholes.
