Met with Local Government Officials Visited the former Deputy Director of Groundwater for Thailand Met with the local water jurisdiction
Met Local Pipe and Pump Supplier Pipe Standards are different. We settled on PVC pipe versus polyethylene or steel.
Meeting Local Officials Met with local university officials to discuss their water system challenges
Visited Several Local Water Systems Met with the owner
Visiting the Village Center of village and local village head
Visiting the Village Typical home – outside and inside
Determining a Solution After much discussion, it appeared the well installation option was not good due to the low production of an existing nearby well.
Determining a Solution In addition, there does not appear to be any close local surface water supply available for treatment.
Proposed Solution The best solution: install piping to connect to an existing treated water source
Above Ground Tank on a Hill An above ground tank will be installed at the temple site to provide a reliable water supply with sufficient pressure
Proposed Solution Piping will be installed by a contractor to tank site (~1400 meters) and then to the village center (~1500 meters). At that point, villagers will hand dig to extend water main and provide services.
Roy and Bill We were both happy for the opportunity!
