Abstract |
This Ethiopian case study, taken together with other country and continent-wide studies of the Rural Water Supply Network (RWSN), provides a 10-step guideline to reducing drilling costs. Increasing access to groundwater is a high priority for sub-Saharan Africa. One key to this is to reduce the costs of conventional drilling and borehole construction. This field note describes a recent study in Ethiopia and sets out some of the ways in which this may be done. |
