AKIPRESS.COM - UNICEF Mongolia, with the help from the government of Japan, handed over three units of high-capacity portable water pumps to National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), as part of the project 'Improving Sanitation and Hygiene in Flood Vulnerable Communities to Improve Public Health".

The handover event was organized under the joint leadership of the Chief of NEMA, the Ambassador of Japan to Mongolia and UNICEF Representative to Mongolia on June 17.

This event was not just a transfer of equipment but symbolizes the commitment of UNICEF and Japan to strengthening Mongolia's resilience against natural disasters, the UNICEF Mongolia notesjavascript:mctmp(0);.

The pumps, featuring 316 SS Impeller and wear plates, boast low fuel consumption and compact engine sizes for efficiency. These fully automatic priming pumps are capable of running dry for extended periods due to their oil bath mechanical seal assembly, which allows priming with long suction hoses and suction lifts of up to 9 meters (28 feet).
