Return to Water in Africa

 

 

Here is Gumira Primary School's mango orchard and gas-powered water pump. The borehole is located across the Dukate River near two of the school's three fields. Its location is a problem during the rainy season when the river floods and the crocodiles move in. The water from this borehole is semi-salty—notice nobody is there getting water.
