Afghanistan Water Emergency Relief Project (WERP) in Afghanistan

About this project

UNOPS supports access to emergency renewable power to service surface water irrigation in selected rural areas, including a provision of off-grid solar systems and, where applicable, emergency energy efficient equipment to support surface water irrigation in the selected areas. This will include installation of solar pump systems, and battery systems in high priority areas. These solar water pump systems will be installed to supply irrigation to meet the needs of farmers pumping the surface water in identified rural areas. Solar pumps used for irrigation purposes will only pump surface water from rivers that have permanent water bodies and not from seasonal rivers. A solar powered pumping system consists of PV modules, a pump set, electronic components (an inverter, power conditioner or pump controller, controls/protections, batteries where required and water sensors) and interconnected cables. The size of solar pumping systems will be selected after analyzing the relevant parameters such as irrigation surface, solar irradiation water demand, water source, design flow rate, storage and location.
