Part 3 – Well drilling in South Sudan:  "The water table is quite high in our area.  One bore hole was drilled at 197 feet and the other at 147 feet with the dynamic water level at 69 feet. This job had its difficulties; rain fell in earnest as they drilled the second hole… the heavy trucks were stuck for three days until the sun dried the earth enough for the drill and trucks to drive out. Conflict continues to plague South Sudan.  Rising prices and the scarcity of fuel (gasoline and diesel) was a problem for the drilling team."  Part 4 tomorrow!
