When the water is at a limit depth for surface pumping with a motor pump (8 to 10 m) the producer must take a technological step leading to the choice of an appropriate solar pumping solution. During a production period PRACTICA piloted the feasibility of pragmatic and low-cost solar irrigation solutions for an intermediate depth of water (8 to 20 m) capable of meeting expectations and removing the constraints encountered by small producers of the Niayes area.
