Implementation Phase 1A and B is the phase where we drilled the first borehole. The sections highlighted in blue represent work that was completed during this phase. You can click on each item to see its design and some information about it.
Summary of Implementation 1A and B
After the Assessment trip from the year previous, the team decided over the summer on the elevated water tank solution. Work started on the design of the borehole.
This phase was a struggle. There was a lot of financial issues and processes that came to stab us in the back late. One thing we learned during this phase was about Ugandan Time. In Uganda, time is not like it is in America where things are on a set time. When we were contracting the drilling of the borehole, construction happened a lot later because to them on time is a week later.
