This document describes a project to develop a prototype hydro-powered water pump and electricity generator. The prototype will be jointly developed by KIU University and Baig Engineering and is intended to address KIU's problem of needing to lift water 200-300 feet to its main campus. The prototype will utilize hydropower to generate 10kw of electricity and lift 0.25 cubic feet per second of water 300 feet. It will have components like a turbine, gearbox, water pump, electric generator, intake structure and power channel. The project is estimated to cost $22,381 and have a payback period of 13 years, generating $50.4 million in profit over its 30 year lifespan.
