By championing genuine multidisciplinary research and generating interdisciplinary results, this book develops models and approaches which indicate how it might be possible to overcome some of the limitations that technocratic approaches to renewable energy and water access pose to truly sustainable development. The book addresses technical challenges often found when promoting photovoltaic water pumping systems. It offers practical guidance to stakeholders on how to successfully select, install, and maintain photovoltaic water pumps to promote sustainable options for the poorest underserved areas/populations. A main novelty of this book is that, by using theoretical, as well as real/actual field-work data, and advanced modelling, it successfully connects energy systems engineering, environmental and geographical information and hydrology with population surveys which reveal local needs and conditions. The book is timely and important. More than 665 700 million worldwide still do not have access to improved drinking water sources; eight out of ten live in rural areas typically located either in off-grid territory, or where connection to nearby grid is too expensive or unfeasible. Unsafe water is responsible for 1.2 million deaths each year, mainly correlated with the diarrheal diseases generated from drinking water from unimproved water sources. Sustainable Development Goal 6 (clean water and sanitation) may be achieved only if water is accessible to everyone, available when needed and free from contamination. 410 0$aGreen Energy and Technology,$x1865-3537 606 $aPhotovoltaic power generation 606 $aElectric power distribution 606 $aWater 606 $aHydrology 606 $aSustainability 606 $aPhotovoltaics 606 $aEnergy Grids and Networks 606 $aWater 606 $aSustainability 615 0$aPhotovoltaic power generation. 615 0$aElectric power distribution. 615 0$aWater. 615 0$aHydrology. 615 0$aSustainability. 615 14$aPhotovoltaics. 615 24$aEnergy Grids and Networks. 615 24$aWater. 615 24$aSustainability. 676 $a621.31244 700 $aCherni$b Judith Alazraque$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01734184 702 $aMeunier$b Simon$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aQuéval$b Loïc$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910845481803321 996 $aPhotovoltaic Pumping Systems for Domestic Sustainable Water Access in Off-Grid Areas$94150818 997 $aUNINA
