Field Notes
The water technologies we fund depend on the region's water availability, culture and economic conditions. Our partners survey each site and meet with the communities to determine the best solution. This community received a hand-dug well because the region has a high water table, therefore water can be reached by hand-digging. The community usually contributes time and labor, sometimes digging up to 50 feet by hand under the supervision of skilled masons to reach water. Hand-dug wells usually take up to three months to complete.
