Water Supply for Efficient Irrigation Secured

Over the last two days, we have successfully drilled for groundwater to secure the water supply for irrigation. The strong jet of water during drilling shows that there is sufficient water available. The entire community, from young to old, actively helped with the preparations.
Around 2 tonnes of gravel were sieved and thoroughly washed to remove organic material that could cause rotting. Gravel grains that are too small prevent optimum water flow to the filter pipe, which is why choosing the right material was crucial. We also wrapped the filter pipes with geotextile to prevent sand from entering the pipe and pump. This keeps the borehole and the pump functioning for longer.
