In Search of Water

18.01.2017

With this new trip, we are determined to find water on our site.

After many ideas: find a chamman, a dyer, a company .... Our choice is on the less traditional solution, get someone with a machine!

But this is not so simple: Sony who welcomes us to his family during our stay contacts this person, then we await his arrival.

Two days later, we meet him on the road between Melolo and Waingapu. Everyone will park, shake hands, explain our need and then a new appointment is given in the evening at Sony.

Back in Melolo, we await "the drill man". It ends up coming, after discussion of the prices and explanation of the techniques, an appointment is fixed the following Wednesday for the study of the ground.

Finally, the geological study will be done a week later. Patience is the key word.

After the measurements have been made, they are studied by a geological study. We'll soon find out if water is under our ground ...

Verdict a week later: WATER !!

A fairly large tablecloth is between 30 and 70 meters underground !!

We will have to dig in order to make this water so desired.

To be continued in the next episode...
