Comparative Costs of the A.I.D. Type Pump Fabricated in the Dominican Republic and the U.S Manufactured Moyno Pump

摘要

The A.I.D. type handpump, ETINCA, manufactured in the Dominican Republic, and the U.S.-manufactured Moyno pump are herein compared with respect to all direct monetary costs related to procurement, manufacture, installation, operation, maintenance, and replacement of the two pumps. The estimated cost of the Moyno pump completely installed at the well site (DR$966) is twice that of the ETINCA (DR$476).
