Thanks,
The technology was also explained in a previous post [1] and will be more effective in moving water, since most times, flooded areas have no 'empty spaces' to pump water to. The technology has some potential, and could be developed using On 2013-07-18 09:20, [email protected] wrote: > Stephen: > > Very sorry to hear of the serious flooding in Freetown.
