This year we added two more vehicles while retiring just one. This gave us 8 vehicles to use - so we had 8 teams in the field installing wells.

This shows our 8 trucks lined up with the drivers from Team 2. |
This year, the quality of the pump parts was much improved, although we had problems with pipe quality and with our aggressive installation plans (1000wells targeted), we had some challenges getting all the parts where and when we wanted. Even with these challenges, we were able to install everything that was built on time.
The best understanding of the impact of the trip can be found in first hand accounts from some of the team members.
