Study Regarding the Use of Wind Energy in the Area of Water Supply

Abstract

In the paper is presented a solution to solve the problem of water supply for an isolated small community where the area posses an outstanding wind potential. It is a place with a few buildings which are located near a river and is needed water for daily requirements.
