ABSTRACT

A study was undertaken to design and construct a low-lift pedal pump for use in

small irrigation project areas. Prepared a conceptually simple water pump that will be easy

to maintain and repair using basic tools while providing enough water flow to irrigate a

small plot of farm land has prepared a conceptually simple water pump that will be easy to

maintain while providing enough water flow to irrigate a small plot of farm land. It was

found from study that the present structural design, the operation of the pump is tedious and

at the same time very ineffective, which needs necessary modifications. Design and

construct of pedal operated water pump is used in small irrigation and garden irrigation. The

pedal operated pump can be construct using local material and skill. Provides irrigation and

drinking water where electricity is not available. They can be built using locally available

materials and can be easily adapted to suit the needs of local people. They free the user from

rising energy costs, can be used anywhere, produce no pollution and provide healthy

exercise. The problem of energy crises is very big in India and many rural powered water

pumps by use of this project we save electricity and get a particular water head and we

supply the water in irrigation. We will operate a water pump by using bicycle mechanism in

the project and we can fill the water tank of housing power and get construction work. As

this pedal power water pump prototype has a great performance efficiency and help to work

out at all irrigations fields for their needs. This pump has a discharge of nearly 25- 30 LPM.
