According to the Population Division of the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), the urban population stood at 4.2 billion in 2018, and it is expected to reach 6.7 billion by 2050. Thus, the increasing urban population, owing to the ample employment opportunities offered in urban areas, is leading to the construction of numerous housing units. The surging number of housing projects is creating a huge requirement for water pumps, worldwide.
