Drilling
I figured out that one of the most popular humanitarian way of addressing access to water supply is through drilling or rehabilitation of boreholes. I found https://rwsn.blog/2019/05/27/integrity-risks-in-professional-borehole-drilling-preventing-corruption-paves-the-way-to-sustainable-infrastructure/
this website quite provoking and I encourage a serious thought on that.
Having said that, my experience says :-
- are people willing to burn in the sun checking all the drilling steps?
- Is pumping test for so many hours really followed?
- Who are the main owners of drilling rigs?
- How much capacity do communities really have? How about the Engineers themselves?
Some food for thought, and I believe so worth while, One love!
