Where clean water now flows
Our process
Built for reliability
- 01
Deep borehole drilling
Deep drilling into the earth, sometimes over 100 feet, to reach clean underground water sources.
- 02
Gravel packing
A layer of clean gravel surrounds the borehole casing at the water zone, acting as a natural filter to block sand and silt.
- 03
Sanitary sealing
Bentonite clay or cement seals the top of the borehole to prevent surface contamination from entering the water source.
- 04
Submersible pump & generator
A powerful electric pump (powered by a generator) draws water from the borehole and pushes it up through galvanized steel piping.
- 05
Elevated storage (GeePee tanks)
Each borehole stores 45,000 liters across three 15,000-liter GeePee tanks mounted on a steel tower, providing pressure for reliable flow.
- 06
Sediment filtration
Before reaching the taps, water passes through sediment filters to remove particles like dirt, sand, and rust, making it cleaner and clearer.
- 07
Community tap access
Clean water flows through multiple taps installed on a concrete platform serving all.
