At the drinking water and sanitation project in Arnakot waterpumps are necessary for the elevation of the water over a distance of 400 meter. Due to the lack of a power facility it’s necessary to construct an energy system on location.
By the combination of two transformers, 35 poles and 4000 metres of cable a hydroelectric power plant which is located at one kilometre distance can be used as a powersource. This system will be constructed in the hilly and rural area by local companies in collaboration with the Nepalese Red Cross.
