Rachel Chapman a servant of the Living God 
Hydrologist & his wife
We had the privilege of taking a hydrologist friend of one of my partners with us on our last trip. The men hiked all over the area investigating all the water sources within a mile radius of our village – springs, creeks, and seeps. He determined that we have plenty of water to supply all the needs of the village and our own needs.
Our problem now is to get the water to where we need it. Our friend gave us three options for how to get enough water and store it. So, beginning with our next trip in, we’ll be working on the simplest/easiest option. Lord-willing, soon we will be able to have water at our house-sites!
There is a spring about a mile away that flows year-round – even in the dry times. So, we plan to tap into that spring and bring water to a storage above the village for us to use. There is plenty of head so that we will not need any pumps!
Although it will take a bit of work to put this system in, it really is a simple solution. And, there is a church that desires to help pay for part of the project!
Thank you, Lord, for providing the water that we need!
This is the box that supplies the neighboring village with water. We will tap their spring downriver to supply our village.
