Village-level operation and maintenance (pumps)-Implementation-It was assumed that the private sector would take care of the distribution of spare parts, but most parts had to be imported and were difficult to get. Low profit margins on spares did not encourage the private sector to take up the role of importing and di... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Village-level operation and maintenance (pumps)-Implementation-Difficulties with the introduction of VLOM have called into question a number of inherent assumptions in the concept relating to the user community, the supporting environment and technology choice. Of particular importance is the assumption that introducin... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Village-level operation and maintenance (pumps)-Implementation-VLOM has undoubtedly brought the answer to sustainability a little closer; however, the goal of easy maintenance remains elusive. Perhaps the greatest lesson is that there are currently no ‘off-the-shelf’ solutions which can bypass the need for effective go... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Village-level operation and maintenance (pumps)-Implementation-Recently there have been attempts to involve the private sector, not only in selling spares and handpump repairs, but also in local pump sales and installation.

Bolt (climbing)-Use-Rock climbing routes that have been bolted for climbing protection — but not as a source of aid to help progression — are called sport climbs. Where a route has bolts to aid progression (i.e. a climber can pull on the bolt), it is called an aid climb. In competition lead climbing, all of the routes ... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Bolt (climbing)-Lifespan-Bolts degrade over time — particularly in coastal areas from salt, but also from stress corrosion cracking — and eventually, all sport climbs need to be re-fitted after a number of years. The highest quality titanium bolts are too expensive to use regularly, and the next highest quality stainle... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |

Businesses in areas tha... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Rolling blackout-Scheduling-When blackouts are scheduled in advance, they are easier to work around.The speed at which blackouts roll may be adjusted so that no blackout lasts longer than a certain limit. For instance, in Italy, the PESSE (Piano di Emergenza per la Sicurezza del Sistema Electrico, Emergency plan for na... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Rolling blackout-Causes-In some countries, generating capacity is chronically below demand. Assorted factors may prevent adequate investment in generation. Alternately, generating capacity may temporarily decrease below demand due to power station outages or loss of renewable capacity due to the wind dropping or the su... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Rolling blackout-Causes-In the case of South Africa, failing and aged infrastructure, lack of maintenance and alleged corruption in the country's African National Congress-led government in the running of their primary electricity provider, Eskom, is the direct cause of rolling blackouts. | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
