Solar powered tube well can be considered as a reliable and affordable source of supplying
irrigation water compared with electric or diesel operated tube well due to frequent load
shedding and soaring energy prices. A two year study from 2012 to 2014 was conducted on
solar powered tube well installed at the Water Management Research Centre (WMRC),
University of Agriculture, Faisalabad to investigate the viability of a solar powered tube well
in terms of its discharge and benefit cost ratio. The tube well discharge was 51 m3hr-1 …
