Magic Roundabouts that pump water

Whilst listening to Jonathon Ross's Radio 2 show on Saturday, they talked about a project that installs roundabouts for children to play on in Africa. The magic part of it is that it also acts as a pump that is extracting water from wells below. Very ingenious use of low technology and human effort.

You can see more about the project's work in Africa here: Roundabout, The Playpump.

You can also donate, but there is no need to dig any extra into your pocket as if you want a bottle of water, you can simply purchase the ONE brand. All profits go to fund the project. Click for more information on ONE Water.
