IRRIGATION IN CONFLICT AFFECTED AREAS IN UGANDA AND DAFUR(SUDAN), RESEARCH- SURVEY( GEOHYDROLOGICAL), WATER QUALITY TEST, PLANNING AND REPORTS.

Our research programme is aimed at drilling and development of underground water for irrigation of atleast 50 gardens per sub county in conflict affected areas of Uganda and Sudan( Dafur region) as a means of contributing to the World fight against global food crisis.

Detailed Description:
EBOWA aims to use solar energy to pump water to main reserviours and hence supply the gardens according to regulation of such country benefiting from the project.
it shall also do a lot of consultation for success of its research and shall ensure it enlist support of the local authorities and other ngos working in the areas of its operation.

Definition for each component which is materially important to understanding this product/service/technology:
- consultation with solar manufactures
- geo-hydrological survey
- distribution plan
- identification of beneficiaries
- water quality test

Subject idea's Champion:
Ogoga Moses, B- environmental engineering

Problem the Invention, Patent, or IP addresses:
- global food shortage
- safe drinking water for conflict affected persons
- global warming
- rural development

Need the Invention, Patent, or IP answers:
reduce vulnerability of conflict affected communities

How it saves money:
-no more purchase of water
-reduction in food prices

How it saves time:
- food will be available in local markets
- stand water pipes shall be at the homesteads

How it saves resources:
- pvc pipes once installed can last for a minimum of 20 years
- the system shall be maintenance free
- concrete reservoir can last more than 50 years

How it saves energy:
- solar energy does not require any extra work for maintenance
- people shall get water from their compounds

How it is safer:
-water quality testing shall shall qualify the projects
-it shall use modern auto control systems for protection.

How it is simpler:
we shall use already manufactured systems like solar panels, pumps, pipes etc. the only challenge is assembling them to serve the purpose which will be solved by our high profile engineers, we shall also do a lot of consultation

How it is more efficient:
pump test, geo- hydrological survey, water quality test and gravitational water supply principals shall make these systems efficient

How its use is environmentally friendly:
it shall take all the National water regulations and precautions

How its production is environmentally friendly:
our research shall go hand in hand with government plan and it shall take all environmental precautions

Target market(s):
- sudan since its located in a desert area and affected by war
- Democratic republic of Congo also affected by war
- Uganda (north) war affected and third world country
- Central African republic also war affected
- Kenya (north) - desert affected
- Egypt - desert

Why will people/companies purchase it:
Because it shall be 95% maintenance free,effective and asy to install

Weaknesses placing idea at a competitive disadvantage:
Availability of underground water.

External threats that could jeopardize the marketing of this IP:
Nill

Opportunities that create a current demand for this IP:
global warming, food crisis and war

Realistic timeline until IP is ready for commercialization:
six month

I would like funds to develop this IP
