Impact Measurement: The Tools
Playpumps aimed to build 4,000 by 2010 to bring the "benefit of clean drinking water to up to 10 million people". The concept is simple: a merry-go-round is connected to a bore-hole. As children play, the spinning motion pumps underground water into a raised tank.
Children would need to "play" non-stop for 27 hours a day.
A wind turbine that cost the Welsh government £48,000 to buy has been generating an average of just £5 worth of electricity per month. The turbine was put its Aberystwyth office, rated excellent for sustainability, in 2009.
Before it was installed, the turbine makers warned Welsh government contractors it would not be exposed to enough wind where it was positioned.
