At the Mutumbo Hospital well site, we watched the drilling of the bore hole. This is one of the drill bits. The drill hit hard rock and the drill bit was changed for a larger one.
The drill rig is positioned, ready for the drilling to resume.
Brut force is used to make sure that the drill bit is on securely.
This is the hole that has been dug so far.
The drilling process resumes.
Chemical is added to the circulating water to kill the bacteria so that the water used in drilling will not contaminate the well.
The drilling has reached the end of the length of the first pipe, a second pipe is to be added for more depth.
The pipe is fitted tightly so that there will be no problems in the hole. The drilling process goes on for thirty more length of pipe until potable water is found.
Finished well with reservoir, now serving the hospital for clean surgery and dialysis.
