I found this to be a very innovative way to get clean water from wells in rural areas in 3rd world developing countries. This PlayPump, as it is so aptly called, uses the energy that kids have and utilizes it to pump water. When the kids run around playing with the merry-go-round it drives the pump, thereby supplying the water the village needs. Its a simple and great way for kids to help in their village and when their mom says to go fetch water it will be fun to.
