Intermediate technology; what is it??

Intermediate technology is a type of technology, used mainly by farmers or peasants of countries which are not so developed. they are economically accessible, and this are available locally to improve intermediate technology in the area and for those people. It made more for people than for machines, and it is environmentally friendly.

As a country which is not very developed, they struggle a lot to be successful with their water supply; their economy does not help their water supply at all.

For example, WaterAid from the UK, is an assosiation to help the poor and less fortunate people. They help them with their water resources, and have many items that help them do this.

Firstly they have the gravity-fed schemes, which according to WaterAid UK, are “A gravity-fed supply from a small upland river, stream or spring uses the force of gravity to transport water by pipework to tapstands near homes, reducing the work involved in carrying water.”

They also have things like hand-dug wells, handpumps, protection of spring sources, and rainwater harvesting. This things are built fo course, to help the environment in which some human being live in, especially in places in Africa, like Tanzania of course. They also have things coming up like groundwater drilling, subsurface dams and doing treatments of drinking water.

In conclusion, we can see how countries like Tanzania have been and are being helped by asociations like WaterAid, from the United Kingdom.
