Began digging this morning to great Equatorial Kenya weather
but mid-morning thunderstorms rolled in and halted the progress. We did get a
small break in the rain this afternoon to dig for another meter achieving a
depth of 9 meters, after two days.
At a depth of 6 meters we encountered a sandy loam soil
mixed with the clay … this soil type does not make for the secure walls of the
pure red clay. As a result, we will install concrete culverts in a vertical
position to secure the walls of the well … and for the safety of the diggers,
to prevent wall cave in’s.
Picture: Martin Idewa digs to a depth of 9 meters.
