Water Boreholes
Safe water eliminates poverty, hunger and disease however in some areas the only solution is to create large boreholes that can hold over 100,000 litres
Access to a clean and constant supply of clean water is essential for life. Not only does it keep the human body alive and functioning, but regular hygiene staves off diseases whilst regular access to water helps crops to grow and allows farmers to grow livestock.
The use of wells and pumps are a viable solution to many areas but in vast swathes of Africa, water is so far below the earth’s surface that the only way to reach it is to create a large borehole.
This then allows communities to maximise the water supply but to build, it requires heavy machinery capable of digging into the ground as well as needing advanced hydrogeological surveys to determine the best location of the borehole.
A highly complex system, a borehole is not just about digging a deep hole it requires a large water tank that can hold around 100,000 litres, site management offices, generator room and separate water stations.
