EBARA CORPORATION (“EBARA”) donated pumps to Yangon Technological University in Myanmar on December 5 as part of its international cooperation activities through technical guidance. The objective is to deepen their understanding of pump structure, learn how to control them, and so on by experiencing real pumps during the classes. A short pump seminar was held at Yangon Technological University on the day pumps donated, more than 30 students and teachers who studied mechanical engineering attended it.

Background
As its economy grows, Myanmar must urgently address the issue of developing the water infrastructure to keep pace with urban development. Faced with a shortage of engineers capable of planning pumping facilities at water supply, drainage and wastewater facilities, universities are focusing on developing human resources in this field. To date, EBARA has held more than 10 pump seminars in Myanmar.
