==Costs==

A The cost of an Elephant Pump is a combination of two elements: ‘Hardware’ and ‘Installation’. The total cost of providing the hardware for the Elephant Pump is around £600, with small variances on items such as cement from country to country. The cost of installation can vary from country to country and region to region. It includes items such as survey cost, well digging, bricks, occasionally blasting and in country costs of staff and fuel etc. As a benchmark these have averaged in Malawi, for example, at £3000 per Elephant Pump installation. According to [http://www.treehugger.com/clean-water/elephant-pump-wins-award.html Treehugger.com], a pump to serve 500 people can be made for a total cost of about £200 ($350 USD), with the major components having a lifespan of 50 years.
