Well in Ponmalaipatti

At Auara, we are working to combat the greatest form of poverty there is: the lack of clean drinking water.

CONTEXT

The residents of Ponmalaipatti have experienced a significant drop in the water table due to low monsoon rainfall over the past five years. It is the worst drought in the last 140 years.

The impact of a lack of clean drinking water on children is devastating; diarrhea increases malnutrition among children, and its consequences harm them both physically and mentally.

The well will be built on the school campus and will be for the exclusive use of the school's students, as the water shortage is very severe. 

OBJECTIVES

The drilling point of the well is chosen according to the criterion of a zahorí. After identifying the excavation point, the submersible electric motor and the necessary accessories for water extraction are acquired and a specialized company is hired to dig the well with the necessary depth. The submersible motor is inserted into the well at the required depth depending on the water supply. Finally, a plumber installs the water extraction engines and piping, once the supply reserve tanks are installed.
