Webinar | Manual Drilling -- A Global Perspective of Local Realities

Manual drilling is here to stay, and it is growing. There has been a tremendous upsurge in the use of groundwater for drinking water supplies in Africa over the last ten years. Recent estimates suggest that the number of people on the continent relying on borehole with handpump or on hand dug wells has doubled from 75 to 150 million in the past ten years. This webinar will examine some of the main concerns about the spread of the technology, drawing particularly on lessons from Nigeria and Chad.

In this webniar, you will:

• Learn about the spread of the technology in Africa
• Hear an overview of the Rural Water Supply Network's Manual Drilling Compendium 2015
• Be informed on what manual drilling is, and why it is particularly interesting for sub-Saharan Africa
