To do this well, it's important to choose the right pump for the field based on factors like the type of watering needed, the well or water source, the available power, and the economic situation of the people using it. Matching the well and pump characteristics helps get the most power while using energy wisely. CRITERIA FOR SELECTION I. Peak Water Requirement (Discharge -D) II. Yield or water source (T-L/S) III. Availability of Power ( H.P) WATER REQUIREMENT, V IN L/D Ø It is the maximum quantity of water required in liters/day to meet the daily requirements and pumping rate in L/S. Ø It is calculated by V/ (T*3600) whe...
