Water Drilling

Over the past two decades hand pumps have become the principal technology for supplying water to many millions of people in rural areas in Africa. Many, however, are not functioning. Almost a 12.5 million hand pumps across Africa are estimated to be un operational. An evaluation in Mali found 90 percent of pumps did not work, just one year after they were installed due to lack of maintenance.

IYE Corporation has joined the crusade to provide the basic necessity of life, water. Our goal is to provide water to serve the 1 billion people who do not have enough safe drinking water.

IYE Equipment includes:

  • Marsh Funnels to check the viscosity of drilling fluid
  • Water level meters to accurately assess well yield
  • Mud pumps, jet pumps & hand bailers to develop wells
  • Field test kits are used to confirm that water is safe to drink.

Using our water drill, IYE can drill a 6-inch borehole up to 200 feet below the water table.
