How does the household get water used for irrigation?
o Treadle pump: This refers to a manually operated machine which pumps water from source to the crops through pipes. This is very popular in tomato growing areas.
o Motor pump: This is the use of a motor pump whether fuel or electric powered to pump water from source to crops.
o Gravity-fed pipeline: The traditional method of pipeline installation, involving the
excavation of a trench, laying of the pipe, back-filling and reinstating the surface.
The distribution of water by gravity is controlled by the slope from the water source. In which case, the higher the slope, the higher the water pressure.
