Typically requires a drill rig to drill a borehole into the underground water aquifer. Will require investigation on quality and quantity of the groundwater from local or regional Department of Natural Resources or similar.
​
Typically deep water is often located at a distance from where it is ideally needed, so pipelines and storage tanks are inevitably a requirement of this water source. It will also require a pump to get water to the surface, some form of control equipment and power source to run the pump.​
​
Cost & Impact: A very reliable water system option offering long term solutions. It is recommended to have a wider impact on the deep groundwater project option as it has higher installation, maintenance and running costs requiring extensive prior community commitment.
​
Project Locations: India, Uganda and Malawi
Deep groundwater is generally drilled from underground aquifers 20 to 200 metres or deeper
