Sidebar, if anyone wants to contribute to make this happen on Lemmy let me know. There are many places around here that would greatly benefit from a well or rainwater collection, particularly schools.
That’s cool, these projects can be pricier or require more resources than one would think. Over here we’re saving up for a water treatment system for the whole neighborhood.
Definitely drilling a well is often substantially pricey, otherwise the tank and drainage from a roof is fairly common here and the drainage can always be done with scrap material in a pinch.
Hmm with the know how digging a well doesn’t have to be pricey, we did it here ourselves with just labor and pipes and ingenuity. Took several days and backbreaking work ( we had to spin and grind through some rock) but there is a way. Ask beyond commercial quotes and do it like countryside people do and can get one. (Once you have it though still gotta pay for the well pump and all, I more it’s not completely cheap but possible)
The pricier thing daunting me is the advanced water treatment system that’s at global standards.

How much did the whole thing cost?
Which place do you refer to? I could help similarly in the Philippines where we (my small companies) already do some charity work.
I live mostly in Tanzania and there’s a lot of schools here who don’t have access to clean water.
Wow great work! That’s awesome
Haven’t done much yet personally although I’m working on it. Hopefully next year have some things set up.

How many meters did you dig?
