Last week we managed to drill three successful boreholes in Ashanti – one in Dagati, one in JY (both privately sponsored villages) and the third in Ankumadua, where we’re also building a clinic. Our success rate was 100 per cent, which is a great improvement on past efforts when at best we averaged two in three.
Apparently the improvement is because we’re using a different sort of geophysics, which depend on radar to detect puddles of water below ground. Whatever – it’s turning round the villagers’ lives.
