Pre-Borehole Notes

Difficulties these villagers faced:

• Water source was a hand dug well along the Nagahena River and would sometimes produce dirty water.
• Sometimes the wait at the water source would be 3 hours.
• Very difficult to access the well during the rainy season.  Women would fall and break buckets.
• School children would be late for school due to long wait at the water source.
• During the rainy season, people would get diarrhea and 7 people suffered from cholera.
• Mothers would spend some much time getting water that their children would go hungry.
