People are aware of the pump sets which pump out water when the switch of the pump is on. A pump in Guruvayanakere has been able to pump out water when the pump, once it is set in ON position and then switched off. The water continues to pour out without stopping. This has been happening for the last 12 years.
Retired principal, Govind Bhat Kadappu, residing in Vidyanagar, Guruvayanakere, is the man behind this rare feat. He has been able to transfer water from an open well to his bore well through the siphon method at very low cost continuously. Under the siphon system, water which is started to pump once, continues to pump even when the engine is off. That too, recharging of bore well through this method is very rare.
