Community borehole apron with wide circulation area and pedestal for container
Community tapstand with wide entrance and enlarged circulation area with raised edges (still under construction)
Community borehole with wide circulation area added to usual circular apron with raised edge
Suitable for: all users.


Construction Advantages Disadvantages Improvements / variations Cost / labour
Community borehole apron with wide circulation area and pedestal for container
  • Offers a choice for users of where to stand or sit to operate pump handle
  • Pedestal for container next to water spout
  • Drainage channel is in opposite direction from user
Medium
Community tapstand with wide entrance and enlarged circulation area with raised edges (still under construction)
  • Layout provides ample space for users to enter and turn easily
  • Raised edges prevent a wheelchair from rolling off the side of the apron
  • Layout is not suitable for handpumps
  • User approaches tap from one side. To approach from other side requires a 180º turn.
  • Drainage hole could become blocked, leading to excess water on apron
A concrete ramp instead of gravel at the entrance will improve access when construction is complete Medium
Community borehole with wide circulation area added to usual circular apron with raised edge
  • Additional space enables a person with a mobility device to choose position to operate the handpump from
  • Raised edge round handpump reduces water on apron/provides a resting place when lifting container
Raised edge restricts access to placing and retrieving water container Can be added to existing borehole structures
