Pakistan
Agriculture is the backbone of Pakistan''s economy, contributing 18.5% to its gross domestic product and employing 38.5% of the country''s labor force. Despite substantial investments, particularly in irrigation, land and water productivity is very low due to a number of factors. A massive 95% of freshwater is used for agriculture, and as much as 60% []
Solar powered pumps for irrigation in Pakistan
A solar powered water pump has an electrical pump system in which electricity is provided by one or several solar panels that powers an electric motor, which in turn powers a bore or surface pump. The water is pumped from the ground or stream into a storage tank that then allows for gravity-fed irrigation.
Does Solar-Powered Irrigation System Usage Increase the
