Drilling for Water
I spent the day with Chris and Steve from Water4 today as they let us play with their new toys at the Green Country Event Center. We drilled about 15 feet before hitting some pretty serious rock. Steve is fabricating a custom bit tonight and we’ll continue tomorrow (if the rains stop for a few minutes).
Someday when these guys are famous for solving the global water problems I’ll point back to this post reminding friends and family that I knew them before they made it big. I’m grateful for great minds dedicated to solving some of the most difficult issues in the world.
Today was made possible thanks to Greg Taylor. He saw the potential in Water4 and has been an advocate ever since. Check back in March to see how we’ve implemented this technology in Uganda. I’m excited already about the possibilities!
Sounds great, Bobby. I know there are some great technologies that are getting more affordable that could do so much to relieve suffering in the world. It’s cool if you get to be on the cutting edge of some of it. Hope all is well for you.
