The day before yesterday we arrived in Uganda - about 1.5 hours late due to technical problems with the plane.
The day before yesterday we arrived in Uganda - about 1.5 hours late due to technical problems with the plane.
Today we installed the hand pump in the borehole. Only stainless steel material was used so that it does not rust and the water always looks fresh and appetising.
First we carried out a pumping test; it lasted just under three hours. The result is good: 2550 litres per hour are available.
A small piece of the aisle to the drilling site still had to be cleared. As soon as this was done, the drilling company arrived with two trucks and the work could begin.
Last night it thundered and rained for hours.
The access road to the drilling site was therefore very soggy. The truck with the drilling rig would have sunk in there. We could not locate the alternative drilling sites because the farmers had removed the markings.
Today the project was completed. The hand pump is now completely installed. With it the pupils and the employees of the primary school can pump fresh, germ-free water from a depth of 60m and drink it directly.
