Handpump

A handpump is a manual device used to draw water from a well or underground source. It operates through a simple mechanism where pulling and pushing a handle activates a piston or a similar component, creating suction that lifts water to the surface. Handpumps are widely used in rural and remote areas for household water supply, requiring no electricity and offering an affordable, reliable way to access clean water. They are durable, easy to operate, and serve as a vital resource where piped water systems are unavailable.
