Hand Pumps

More than 1,737 India Mark II hand pumps were installed between 1979 and 2005. Over 325,000 people continue to benefit from these hand pumps. Despite claims by government engineers that it was technically impossible, 67 hand pumps were installed at 15,000 ft. above sea level in Ladakh and operate at -40° C.
