Obtaining handpumps in Haiti
Could you possibly assist with the following: Where can I obtain India Mark II or III pumps (or reliable shallow well pumps) for my work in northern Haiti (nearest city: Cap Haitian)? - location? - associated costs? - contact info? Is there reliable pump maintenance people available in the northern Haiti area?
I will be attempting to rehabilitate 4 or 5 shallow dug wells, which have concrete rings of approximately 6 foot (~2 m) diameter; are up to 20 feet deep; with water levels of only a few feet below surface. I have been told that the Haitian government prefers the India Mark II or III pumps presumably for standardization of maintenance.
Regards,
Patrick
