Bolivia - Drinking Water in the Altiplano
Camata Sud, a village at 3'842 meters above sea, was looking for a solution to bring drinking water to its 500 inhabitants.
Initiated by the engineering company SIAB (Servicio Integral Agropecuario Boliviano) a project was defined to build two windmills to generate electricity and activate pumps to transport the underground drinking water to two elevated tanks of 7’000 liters each. From there the water is distributed to the households in the village. The system is fully redundant.
