Change a Life Uganda’s underground water well discovery did
not even start or begin to explain how progressive the project has been.
Following the many thumb-downs of any form of break throughs in water solutions
in Migyera a village in the water stressed district of Nakasongola district,
Change a Life Uganda has had enduring and courageous efforts to find lasting solutions
to the problem.
Short term solutions like rain water harvesting and
preservation interventions were made but the unforgiving prolonged droughts
which are experienced in the area take their toll every year. In the search of
a lasting and satisfying solution for the problem, Change a Life Uganda
embarked on a successful survey for underground resources. A more potential and
convenient site was spotted for drilling 1km away from the concentration area
of the school, health center and town.
Drilling at a depth (148ft) lower than the
geological survey report(130ft) findings,
water begun to Sprawl out of the well and gushed and splashed out like it was
coming from the ocean through a thin hole.
This does not mean the project is successful even when
it was the most challenging undertaking in the entire project design. A lot more work
needs to be done to bring this lasting solution to the problem home.
Having
constructed the pump house built the tower reservoir, power extension to the
pump station and enclosing the station area, a lot of work still desires a lot to
be done about. There is a huge need to
acquire the pump and work on the pipe network to the collection spots for the
residents to quench and kill their longtime water thirst.
