Impacting Niger » Wells

RingsInstall.jpg - The rings are placed in the well. It is interesting that the dirt on the bottom could be taken out and the pile of rings would just continue to sink down maintaining their placement. Strange but very helpful! If the well runs out of water in the very dryest months of the year, digging is done under the bottom rings and the whole column just moves on down. At first we thought we should wait until the very dryest months, either April or May, to do the wells. We were unaware of this great deepening process. Now wells can begin in January and when they need to be deepened, it is done with no complications. The result is a well that will have water right through the very dryest of dry months.
