The farm is having around 1000 plants planted around the fence. They were undergoing stress as there had been stoppage of watering due to Pongal holidays for three days. Today work resumed and team of two had been only pumping water through the hand pump. Stressful indeed but need to be done to keep them alive. Voice is coming out clearly from the team that they cannot hold anymore. There is no rain also in sight. Therefore I have to plan for energy requirement asap. Wind or Solar.
For emergency I offered to buy Subbu a small oil motor. He said NO. They are suitable only for open well not effective to pump from boring. Instead "even a 1/2 hp small motor is sufficient provided electricity is available", he said.
Team has been communicated that we should fabricate solar solution in pieces. Team came with "Texmo pump" as choice for 1.5 or 2 HP submersible. Need to find an inverter and solar cell manufacturer. Iron stand can be fabricated locally.
