Welcome to the Water, Engineering and Development Centre (WEDC), part of the School of Civil and Building Engineering at Loughborough University. Founded in 1971 by John Pickford, WEDC is one of the world's leading education and research institutes for developing knowledge and capacity in water and sanitation for low- and middle-income countries.
The majority of people in poor communities gain access to groundwater either by means of a bucket and rope, or by using a handpump. Using a bucket and rope can be made easier if the well is provided with a windlass to help lift the bucket. However, although easy to operate and repair, the bucket and windlass arrangement has serious disadvantages: it does not allow the well to have a sealable cover slab to prevent ingress of polluted water or other contaminants, and the bucket and rope themselves are continually polluted by mud and dirty hands. Therefore, if the water to be raised from a well or borehole is for people to drink, it is preferable to install a handpump.
Get pumping - is located in an easily accessible location, next to WEDC and near an open air teaching area so some stealth may be needed during term time. You are looking for a small cache with a logbook but you will need to bring your own pen/pencil.
