Re-design the use of PV to distribute water from tanks to rural area for Mentawai especially in Central Siberut sub-district

Abstract

The redesign of the water pump stuck in the district of Central Siberut is reused by using the Solar Panel as an alternative energy source. The materials and tools used are Booster pump, pipe, air valve, wash out, blow off and gate valve. The booster pump is used to pump high pressure water from the tank so that it can reach Saibi village, where Saibi village is the farthest village compared to Simulaklak village, where the distance from the tank to Simulaklak village is only 1.5 km and the tank to Saibi village is 4.5 km the elevation difference between the tank and the village of Saibi is 25 meters above sea level. The total water demand in Simulaklak and Saibi villages is 17.63 liters / second with flow rates in Simulaklak and Saibi villages of 2.25 m / sec and 1.69 m / sec, for the pump head obtained from the tank to Simulaklak village is 72,1 m and the pump head from the tank to Saibi Village is 120.31 m. The standard atmospheric pressure obtained for Simulaklak village is 10,284 mH2O and for Saibi village is 10.301 mH2O. Booster pump is an alternative that can be used for distributing water from the tank to the village.
