BOREHOLE WATER PROJECT IN MUTONGONI AREA, NAROK COUNTY
The vision statement of the project
To provide a reliable and accessible source of water that is safe to the members of the community to promote proper hygiene for a better everyday life.
Mission statement
We are a nonprofit organization committed to bringing clean water and sanitation solution to the people. We will ensure that there is cooperation among us and community members as they take the lead in rebuilding their lives.
Core values
Our values are based on the basic beliefs and practices about water and sanitation.
They include:
- Accountability and transparency
- Teamwork
- Honesty and integrity
- Effectiveness and efficiency
- Focus on quality and standards
The project will run from 17th March to 10th May.
Project tasks
- Site survey
We will need to obtain hydrogeological data, maps, graphs, and cross-section profiles so that we can determine important information such as estimation of drilling depth and identification of stress area. This will take 14 days that is from 1st May 2020 to 15th May 2020.
- Site mobilization
Will include transferring to all equipment, supplies, personal resource, and items to all sites necessary for the execution and completion of the task. Also the setting up of the equipment and rendered operatable by the confirmation of relevant professionals. It will start from 16th May to 21st May. That’s thus the task will take days.
- Groundbreaking
We will use mud drilling techniques to drill a surface hole down and then pass fluid through a drill pipe into the hole and back to the surface. Afterward, we conduct air drilling to help break hard rocks formation. Starting from 21st March to 4th may.
Rock sampling
We will need to estimate the yield of individual aquifer encountered. Starting from 4th March to 5th March.
- Casing
By this, we will ensure stabilization and keep the size of the wells from curving in on themselves. This will happen on 22nd and 23rd March.
- Well development
We will need to establish a good hydraulic connection with the surrounding formation. That will take place from 23rd to 24th march.
- Capping and slab
We then pump piped water from the successful borehole. From 25th March to 27th March.
- Test pumping
Will involve pumping of a well from a measured static water level at a known yield and recording the rate a pattern by which the water level changes from 28th March to 29th March.
