Water pump
With our organisation’s mission always in mind, we strive to find new strategies for dealing with this challenge. In many parts of Haiti farmers are dealing with dry land, most of them want to work but because of lack of water to water their land, farmers are unable to cultivate to make ends meet to feed themselves or to feed their families. Bernade Leonidas foundation with its partners present the irrigation system, an independent system that only using solar energy to power the complete irrigation system.The energy created in the solar panels pumps up groundwater into a water tank. The water is filtered through different filters. The water is then processed by cooling the system. The cooling system works with the help of solar energy. This provides an ideal temperature of the water for watering the plants. With this new technology farmers would be able to water their land and cultivate food of their land to make ends meet to feed their families.
IIn Haiti, the areas where irrigation systems would work best depends on several factors such as soil, climate, topography, and water availability. However, the Artibonite Valley is one of the primary areas in Haiti where irrigation systems have been implemented successfully. The Artibonite Valley is the country's largest agricultural area and is located in the central part of Haiti. The area is relatively flat, which makes it suitable for flood irrigation, and the region has access to the largest river in Haiti, the Artibonite River, which provides ample water resources for agricultural purposes.
Other areas in Haiti where irrigation systems could potentially work well include the Cul-de-Sac plain, which is located near the capital city of Port-au-Prince, and the Plaine du Nord region in the north of Haiti. However, the implementation of irrigation systems should be done in a sustainable manner, taking into account the local context, needs, and environmental conditions.
