Choose the well that suits you
Every type brings clean drinking water to the homes of the village. They differ in the number of taps and tanks, the drilling depth and the number of families served.
Medium well
- Serves
- About 12 families
- Taps
- 8
- Tanks
- 2
- Drilling depth
- 32 m
The two tanks store water so the pump does not run all the time, which extends its working life.
