Vajra Drill can meet the various water needs of clients ranging from a rural farming community to a large urban industrial facility.

Solar Water Pumping
Utilizing Solar Energy in Kenya
Due to its climate, many areas of Kenya are most suited to solar water pumping.

Vajra Drill designs and installs solar pumping systems that provide significant savings over the costs of electricity and fuel for water systems. These systems can be used for:

Irrigation systems
Watering of livestock
Water supply for community projects
Water supply for schools and hospitals
Residential and commercial buildings

Solar water pumping systems have several advantages over other systems:

Lower Operating Costs
Solar systems have almost zero fuel costs as compared to diesel systems, producing savings for clients.

Environmental Benefits
Solar systems have no negative impact on the environment.

Reliable Service
Even with the most unreliable electrical grids, solar systems provide a reliable supply of water.

Little Future Work Needed

Considering how little maintenance modern solar pumping systems need, their use is well justified in rural and off-grid use cases.

Complete Water Solution

Vajra Drill can support complete water infrastructure projects. Thus, there is no need to hire and manage many contractors. The company offers:

Water Storage Systems

Vajra Drill designs and builds systems to keep water stored and available even when water has not been easy to collect.

Water Treatment Solutions

Water may be easily accessible, but that only makes half of the solution. Water quality is the other half.

Vajra Drill offers water treatment systems that help ensure water is of a quality standard safe for drinking, agriculture, and even industrial use.

Distribution Networks

Most of the time, the systems water flows through to reach its destination are not valued. Not the case here. Well designed water distribution networks help minimize the overheads and challenges of managing water.

Pillars of Agriculture and Food Security

Water has a direct impact on the productivity of the livestock and even the crops grown. Thus, it is a key determinant of food security. It is for this reason that Vajra Drill has focused its support to the farming community on:

Irrigation Boreholes

Solar Irrigation Systems

Livestock Water Supply

Agricultural Water Storage

Farm Energy Systems

These systems have enabled farmers to be more productive while reducing the need for reliance on rainfall.

Supported by the Whole of Kenya

A modern and rural solar pumped based infrastructure system goes beyond a single project.

Vajra Drill has focused its sustainable, modern, rural, and solar water and energy infrastructure systems on:

Government

Education

Health care

Community based organizations

NGOs

Local businesses

Homes

The modern, water and energy based infrastructure systems have focused on rural communities and have been designed to enhance the community’s health during peace and support the community during times of war.
