This is an Engineers Without Borders project run by the northern New Jersey Chapter. We are going to drill a water well and install a hand pump so the villagers have access to clean water.

The well has been developed!
We are now in the middle of a 24 hour pump test to determine the yield rate of the well. The standing water level turned out to be a little lower than expected at 60 meters. However, the sustainable yield rate looks to be about 6.6 cubic meters/hour at 67 meters depth. More than enough to sustain the pump. The water looks to be coming out clear and we are very optimistic. We hope to be installing the pump by Tuesday.
