Wellspring Africa's
 Drilling Wells by Hand Book and Video

This handbook on the hand powered percussion drill is a reasonably well-illustrated 80-page book providing drill designs, drilling tips and tricks, a little history, and good background information on groundwater.

As well, I have prepared a 12-minute video that explains how the drill works.

 Both the video and the book, as well as a wealth of photos from our field work, are now available on a CD.  A computer with any Web browser is all that is needed to view the materials.  Once again, the cost is essentially duplication and shipping: $10.

This format allows us to distribute free copies to the developing world at little cost, please consider supporting the distribution of this information to others in the developing world.
