Khanepani
Khanepani (Community Water Supply) Solutions
Delivering reliable drinking water (Khanepani) in Nepal presents unique challenges: steep mountainous terrain, frequent power outages (load shedding), fluctuating water levels between dry and monsoon seasons, and aging municipal infrastructure. Our advanced solar and hybrid pumping solutions are engineered specifically to overcome these local hurdles, providing uninterrupted, high-pressure water supply from the source directly to the community. We combine proven engineering with smart technology to upgrade Nepal's water infrastructure for the future.
Who Needs This Solution?
This solution is tailored for organizations and communities responsible for large-scale water distribution.
•Municipalities & Khanepani Authorities: Upgrade aging infrastructure with reliable, automated pumping stations that maintain consistent pressure across the distribution network, even during grid failures.
•Mountain Communities & Villages: Lift water from deep valleys or distant springs up to elevated community tanks, ensuring a steady supply regardless of the challenging topography.
•Hotels & Commercial Complexes: Secure an independent, high-capacity water backup system to combat municipal supply shortages and low pressure during peak tourist seasons.
•Water Treatment Plants: Efficiently transfer raw water from rivers or boreholes into treatment facilities, adapting to varying flow rates between the dry season and the monsoon.
How It Works: Overcoming Local Challenges
Our system is designed to handle the realities of Nepal's environment.
1.Adaptive Source Extraction: Whether drawing from a deep borehole or a surface river, our robust submersible and surface pumps are equipped to handle the extreme variations in water levels. They are designed to operate efficiently during the low flows of the dry season and withstand the turbid conditions of the monsoon.
2.Hybrid Power & Smart Control: To combat frequent power outages, our systems utilize an AC/DC Hybrid Controller. It prioritizes free solar energy during the day and seamlessly switches to the national grid (NEA) or a backup generator when needed. This guarantees continuous operation without manual intervention.
3.High-Head Mountain Pumping: For steep terrain, we deploy high-speed, multi-stage deep well pumps or heavy-duty centrifugal booster pumps. These units generate the immense pressure required to lift water hundreds of meters vertically to community reservoirs.
4.Automated Distribution Network: Water is stored in elevated tanks and distributed via gravity or secondary booster pumps. Smart sensors monitor tank levels and pipe pressure, automatically turning pumps on or off to prevent overflow and ensure every household receives consistent water pressure.
How to Design Your System
Designing a community-scale Khanepani system requires careful planning:
•What is the total elevation gain (head) from the water source to the main storage tank? (Crucial for mountainous terrain).
•What is the daily water demand of the community?
•How does the water source change between the dry season and the monsoon? (This determines pump placement and filtration needs).
•What is the current power situation at the pumping site? (Grid availability, frequency of outages).
