Abstract

Nunleu Village is one of the villages in Timor Tengah Selatan Regency in NTT in which until now has experienced difficulties in accessing clean water. The difficulty in clean water distribution is not caused by the unavailability of water sources, but due to the Nunleu topology which consists of valleys and cliffs where the majority of the water sources are located under cliffs and valleys. This situation is exacerbated by the absence of electricity supply from PLN. This study aims to design and build a solar-powered water pump system to help Nunleu residents in the distribution of clean water. The solar pump system was built in Dusun 2 Nunleu which has a total population 150 with needs per capita per day is 40 liters. Result of the research shows that the water pump system built in Nunleu village was able to provide 6000 liters of clean water in approximately 5 hours.
