Water Collection – Chato District, Tanzania
Some of these women and children in Tanzania had been waiting at these small holes for 5 hours for enough water to seep through the ground to fill their buckets. Understanding enough geoscience to consider (i) changing groundwater levels at different times of the year and (ii) different geological material permeabilities, could have helped remove the necessity of this. We have a responsibility to communicate our geoscience to those working on such projects.
