Drought produces a complex web of impacts that spans many sectors of the economy & reaches well beyond the area experiencing physical drought. This complexity exists because water is integral to society’s ability to produce goods & provide service. During draught peoples have to travel across a large distance in search of water. Travelling a certain distance and then operating the hand pump and again returning back becomes quite tedious and physically demanding and leads to a fatigue. As legs can produce more power than hand cranking and bicycle is a common& cheapest mode of transportation, hence a mechanism to operate the hand pump with pedals is developed. Trials were taken and energy expenditure in both case i.e. hand operation and pedal powered is compared.
Keywords:
Hand pump, pedal power, draught.
