'''Scoop irrigation'''<br>

The low-lift ''dhone'', or see-sawing gutters from Bangladesh, can deliver about 300 liters/min (80 gal/min) at a 1 m (3.3 ft) lift. This device uses flap valves and can be operated by a single person shifting the weight back and forth at the fulcrum.

The advantage of a counterpoise lift over handpumps is the replacement parts can be acquired locally. Sometimes mechanical handpump parts are more difficult to obtain. They also tend to need a certain amount of preventive maintenance if premature failure of components or impaired performance is to be avoided.<ref> [http://www.fao.org/docrep/010/ah810e/AH810E08.htm 4. POWER FOR PUMPING], FAO.</ref>

In Chad, the cost of a shaduf assembled at a well site is US$ 40.
