Kyenshama Solar-Powered Surface Pump Project

Client: Ministry of Water and Environment

Implementing Partner: Water and Pumps International Ltd

Water and Pumps International Ltd successfully designed, supplied, and installed a 30kW solar-powered surface pumping system in Kyenshama under the Ministry of Water and Environment. The system delivers an impressive 90 cubic meters of water per hour at 80 meters total head, powered by a 45kW solar array and a 37kW WaterWay inverter.

The project was aimed at enhancing sustainable water access for productive use and community resilience. The system draws from reliable surface source- Kyenshaama dam, distributing water to support both agricultural and domestic needs, significantly improving water reliability and efficiency in the area.

This project stands as a model for large-scale solar water pumping, demonstrating how renewable energy can meet rural water demands sustainably and cost-effectively.

Water and Pumps International Ltd successfully designed, sized, installed, and commissioned backwash pumps, a 4,000-liter surge vessel rated at 28 bar, and a 14-bar compressor as part of the Insimba Water Project.

The installation was tailored to ensure system stability, pressure regulation, and reliability in backwash and flushing operations within the main water supply infrastructure. The project has enhanced operational efficiency, reduced downtime, and improved the overall lifespan of the water system components.

This achievement reinforces Water and Pumps International Ltd’s technical expertise in complex water system integration under the Ministry of Water and Environment’s programs.
