TOO NEAR BUT TOO DEEP TO BE HELPFULL

   Mwenje is a large area without rivers or sreams, but with a two seasonal dams that are distant apart.
    When Jica came in the year 2000 they drilled two boreholes that were about ten km apart. In one of them they fixed a hand water pump. In the other they didn't.
      The second borehole,121m deep, is in my neighbourhood. in the reconds the capacity of the b/hole is 8m3 of water per hour. The water remains in the wells even as the area residents suffer from water related diseases, go for long distnace to fetch water.
     However area residents still hope that one day luck will come their way. But when............. only God knows.
