Describe how the Wello Water Wheel has improved the lives of women in Rajasthan in rural India.

What will be an ideal response?


The collection and transport of water for household cooking and chores has long been the responsibility of women. Water stress has required women to travel increasingly further distances to find and transport water back to their village. The heavy jugs they carry can often cause chronic neck and back pain. The Wello Water Wheel enables women to transport water faster back to their villages. The results of the invention now free up time for young girls to attend school; studies have shown that the introduction of the Wello Water Wheel have improved female school attendance and literacy.
