aQysta is a company that has developed spiral pumps that can deliver water for irrigation through hydraulic energy (aQysta, 2018). That makes these pumps very dependent on the location where they are placed for their water delivery. Their dependency on hydropower also impacts the water supply of these pumps to surrounding irrigation fields (Lawrence et al., 2018). Besides technical boundary conditions these pumps also have to compete with traditional powered pumps and stakeholder opinions considering this is a new technology. All these factors contribute to a rather exciting process to find the right locations for these pumps, or Pump Placement Process (PPP). Since this PPP has to be adapted to many different regions around the world the PPP becomes very complex and time intensive. Context Variation by Design (CVD) is an approach that might offer a solution to this PPP. This approach lets the user utilize the strength of many different contexts, which coincide with the many regions where the pumps are being installed (Kersten, Crul, Engelen, van, & Diehl, 2018). An Adaptive Framework (AF) has been constructed that allows the various projects in the PPP to be compared with each other according to the CVD approach. This AF was subsequently filled in by various people active in aQysta’s PPP, and by comparing different projects new patterns have arisen. These patterns offer new ways to investigate and improve the PPP. It has thus been proven possible to apply CVD to aQysta’s PPP and create new insights concerning the PPP.
