Installing Our Water Pump

We placed a metal barrel inside the creek, a pipe on top of it that funnels water into it, and here you can see as Antonio (left) & Richard (right) are lowering the water pump into the barrel. The goal is to pump the water to our water reserve which is about 120 meters away at about 20 meters higher altitude. And our first test was a success!
