The Water System - How it's designed and constructed
Our Rotary gift to an orphanage consists of a mounted compressor atop an existing tube well to lift well water through a U-tube to the surface, where it is transferred laterally to a permanent, 1,500-gallon storage holding tank, encased by three layers of, respectively, cement, brick and cement.
Therein, sediment settles to the bottom and is periodically removed. A pump driven by a small diesel engine then lifts water to twin 600-gallon blue plastic tanks atop a 22' platform constructed of Myanmar ironwood.

Our Rotary system is unique in Myanmar, and elegant in all of its simplicity, durability, reliability, and precise meeting of pre-identified needs.
At the base of each tower are two 40"x18" marble plaques, permanently engraved with the Rotary gear in full color, the name of the donor club(s) and/or district(s) or individual, accompanied by a matching plaque citing the Four-Way Test.

From there, water is gravity-fed through exit piping to its triple priority applications of cooking and drinking, washing, laundry and bathing, and about 70-80% out via piping to irrigation of an orphanage's self-sustenance and income-producing fruit and vegetable crops.
We also attach a "dynamo," or what we call a generator, to nearly all of them, giving an orphanage a by-product of electrical power when needed (prolonged public power failures are a daily commonplace throughout Myanmar).
