Hand drilled water wells are being undertaken by farmers, artisans and through NGOs. In some cases knowledge of the techniques has diffused from one driller to another, or has been well promoted as part of a particular project. Globally, we know of about 20 organisations which are actively involved in promoting one or more type of manual drilling.
