Buloe Check Up 03.05.2011
In the beginning of May we went back to Buloe where we reinstalled the ram pump for the village water supply earlier this year. We did a training with the villagers how to operate and maintain the pump. Finally the pump was started but no water was delivered. We checked the 2.2 km pipeline and found out that some of the PVC connections weren’t glued. After fixing that problem the first measurement of delivered water in the village was pretty good. The pump delivers about 6 liters per minute which means around 8.500 liters a day. The villagers are really happy to have a water supply directly in their own village for the whole year, independent from the seasons in Thailand.
