Once the concrete pad is dry, the pump mechanism is carefully lowered into the hole and a hand pump is attached. Then a concrete base is formed around the small casing (a few feet in diameter) and is They can be moved with ease and allow work to happen quickly.Īs these machines drill through dirt and rock, casing is installed to keep the hole from collapsing. The rigs are very cost effective and in this region of Kenya do a good job. These simple machines can dig to about 150-200 feet. Today however, they are working with new, small rigs provided by donors. Many of the drillers on this team have had experience deep in a hang dug wells. We want the work to be done safely for both the workers and the people who will benefit from the new source of water.Īn example of one of our project sites is in Western Kenya, where we fund a young NGO known as The Bridge Water Project. We work to ensure our partners have the right tools for the job. The reason I left this out is the start-up jingle isn't actually in the game itself, only on the OST version.
They aren't always an ideal solution, but when properly installed they can be quite effective. This would match some of our other arcade-style soundtrack sheets like Dig-Dug, Galaga, etc. They are also often left uncovered and easily contaminated. Have cost many lives of unskilled laborers. These wells are extremely dangerous to build and They can be fifty or more feet deep and are used when ground water is generally abundant. The simplest wells have traditionally been hand dug. Let's take a look at some common projects to learn more abuot the challenges and costs involved. There are lots of ways to drill them and one size simply doesn't fit all. To answer though because Africa is a continent with wildly diverse geology and the water wells needed in each come in many varieties. We get asked a lot about the cost to dig a well in Africa.
