By the afternoon, the well had reached a depth of 84 m. There was hardly any water, only about 500 litres per hour. That is not even enough for the hospital.
Project Diary
Drilling will start on time. After three hours 21m is reached and it turns out that a 7 inch pipe is missing.
By late afternoon, all the material needed for the drilling and the drilling team had finally arrived. The work is scheduled to start early the next morning.
Towards evening the first truck of the drilling company reached Abedju. It was loaded with some filter pipes and the drilling equipment. The other two with the compressor and other pipes are expected tomorrow morning.
This afternoon we inaugurated the water kiosk in Nyankumbu.
At the seminar "Water treatment with sodium hypochloride" there were some participants from Nyankumbu. They learned how to make sodium hypochlorite from common salt.
On 04.12. at 17.00 o'clock the preparations for the pumping test were completed - connecting the pump, setting up the generator, installing the well pipe for depth measurement etc. We started lowering the groundwater level to the pump at a depth of 53.5 m.
