We just got off the phone with Belarmino. They dug down 100 meters on the other end of the property this morning and again hit rock and no water. Yet, not so very far away is another well on the order of 40 meters deep. And within one or two hundred feed of the lower part of the land is a hand-dug well that has water in the wet season, but not always year round. It is a mystery!
The company (Afrodril) has a resident expert on the under-surface water in the area and he will be back from Maputo on Thursday and Belarmino and the drillers will be consulting with him on what our options are. 100 meters is very very deep and past the normal limits of hand pumps although there are solar powered pumps you can install that will handle that distance. So, a bit of a quandry for us to pray through.
Thanks for standing with us. I am surprisingly peaceful about this and would ask that you continue to ask for God's blessing on this need for water at our project site.
