How does the drilling process work?
"Every time I succeed I get tears to my eyes and it is just amazing amazing amazing to give people that luxury of water from a tap."
- Frans, Boreman
We work in a vast area and water is not easily obtainable. People sometimes walk long distances with a 25 litre drum just to get water; the conditions are especially harsh in the dry season.
The entire drilling process typically takes between 3 to 5 days and reaches an average depth of 32 meters. If sufficient water is found, we install a solar pump and assist the village with establishing a vegetable garden with drip irrigation. If we do not find sufficient water, a hand pump is installed.
The entire village is always ecstatic about the clean water.
