Improve practices on borehole & spring rehabilitation and construction, protecting aquifers and sources.
Favour aquifer recharge of rainwater and wastewater over-discharge.
Assure implementation of essential requirements and good maintenance of the system to ensure correct water management and avoid leaks, water losses, treatment product expiration, etc.
(From CEH Action Plan 2020-2023).
When using or planning groundwater as a project's primary water source, respect the technical recommendations for installing these, including on:
- investigation on which aquifers to source from and which ones to avoid
- consider diagnosing and rehabilitating existing boreholes instead of drilling new ones
- establish the most appropriate borehole design based on that information and negotiate with drillers on how to respect this design
- never link/connect several aquifers to avoid pollution
- always include proper borehole protection to avoid contamination, including a full sanitary seal in complex/urban/contaminated areas
- have the drilling process followed-up by an EH professional from MSF side, to make sure all agreements and designs are respected
- save and share the drilling and borehole logbook
Full technical support on this is available from the EH unit
Implement low-cost/low-tech solutions in facilities that, in most cases, reduce consumption such as the installation of aerators, toilet dams, use of good watering and soil protection practices, purchase of local solutions that improve moisture retention etc.
