We pipe spring water down to shared tap stands and test it twice a year. A village water committee collects a small fee and pays for its own repairs.
How it works
01Survey the spring
Our engineer measures the flow through a dry season before a metre of pipe is ordered.
02Dig together
Every household digs its share of the trench. We bring the pipe, the tank and the mason.
03Hand it over
