SAAJHI STEPPING PUMP
A pump that leverages human weight and gravity to move water and to irrigate framing crops.
The Saajhi Stepping Pump is a field-serviceable, stepping pump that leverages human weight and gravity to move water and irrigate crops. This technology enables smallholder farmers in rural markets to efficiently irrigate crops by drawing water from a nearby source and transporting it to crop fields for irrigation. Saajhi’s design uses nearly 40 percent less water compared to traditional furrow irrigation and requires no fossil fuels, electrical connections or standing power supply. Due to these functions, it is capable of more than tripling the revenue of smallholder farmers in emerging markets.
