Modification to the Village Drill promises to bring water to communities previously neglected


Driller use new Village Drill rock penetrating technology.

We just returned from a trip to Kenya in which we tested new Village Drill technology that will allow drillers to drill through hard rock in areas previously considered too difficult to drill.

This is huge as it promises to increase access to clean water for communities in need that have historically been neglected due to the difficulty of developing wells cost effectively.

The technology only furthers the Village Drill as the clear choice for well development in in areas of need.

After working with engineers in the US and with the Village Drill manufactures in Mombasa, Kenya we were able to test a prototype.

As soon as we had it in the field, it became clear that the technology was performing beyond expectations. After a successful test in the field, we look forward to further modifying the initial design to increase its performance even further.
