Professionalising Manual Drilling: Guinea A country summary

Description:

Manual drilling was introduced into Guinea over the last three years. Previously there was no knowledge or experience of these technologies. About 50 manually drilled wells have been constructed to date, primarily for community water supplies. Although there are considerable funds available for further promotion of the technology, particularly through UNICEF, there is need to consolidate the experiences to date before moving on to another next phase of training and construction. It is also very important that the national government agencies responsible for rural water supplies as well as the local governments are given the opportunity to learn more about manual drilling technologies, including their potential and risks.
