Treadle pumps are foot powered pumps that help farmers irrigate their fields.
Treadle pumps allow farmers to grow an extra crop during the "dry" season as well as irrigate up to 2 acres of land that they could not farm without a treadle pump. The outcome of treadle pump use is increased crop yields and increased incomes for families. Over the past 5 years, Washington State University's International Research and Development programs have placed over 20,000 treadle pump kits in the hands (and feet) of Malawian farmers.
