|style="background-color: #EDEDED;"|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
|-
|style="background-color: #EDEDED;"|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 180&ordm; 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
|-
|style="background-color: #EDEDED;"|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 <br>
