The Free Water Trust   

The Free Water Trust is a charitable organisation facilitating the provision of clean water in many parts of the Lesser Developed World. The Trust supplies Free Tube Well Drilling machinery to areas of need, training local operatives in its use and maintenance. Typically this comprises a 75HP Agricultural Tractor, Aqua-Master light drilling rig (carried and operated by the tractor) and a selection of drilling bits and rods, simply referred to as a Combo. For Larger projects Truck mounted Drilling rigs are used. 

   

     A COMBO MOVES TO SITE  


The cost of each Combo is donated by wealthy individuals and companies from the Sports, Media and Entertainment sector, who recognise their own good fortune, and wish to help others less fortunate. These funds are not gathered from the general public, and so do not divert funds from the many charities we support with our equipment.

  YOUNG GIRLS IN MANY REMOTE AREAS SPEND 50%OF THEIR TIME FETCHING WATER FROM WELLS FAR AWAY. AS A RESULT THEY MISS ANY SCHOOLING AVAILABLE

One Combo can drill over 150 wells each year enabling provision of clean water to over 30,000 people each year

 

 

Much of the groundwater currently being taken from open wells and relatively shallow tube wells in many parts of the Lesser Developed World, is too contaminated with arsenic, and other contaminants to be safely ingested.    

We are seeking further such individuals who can fund more Combo’s to increase the life saving capability of the Free Water Trust. Significant Tax relief is available on these funds.

There is a need for low cost light drilling rigs that can bore down to clean water (sometimes hundreds of feet) where the water is much cleaner, and is not subject to surface down contamination. Aqua-Master is able to drill through rock and Granite, many of the current light rigs are unable to do this, and there has to be a number of abortive attempts till the water is found unobstructed by hard substrate.

Since the only vehicle readily accessible Worldwide is the Agricultural Tractor, the rig is carried and operated by an Agricultural Tractor.

Provision of this Combo to a group of villages, will enable local operatives to bore multiple wells in the places they are most needed. This is a Sustainable Resource in every sense, and will enable a body of expertise to be built up, and a vital service to be made available to surrounding areas.  

When not boring wells, the Tractor can be used to plough the newly irrigated land and increase production of staple produce.

The Combo is ideally suited to be operated in areas of need such as Africa and South Asia, and anywhere that Earth and rock boring is required. There is a significant potential for peacekeeping operations, perimeter fencing can be quickly erected, and water wells bored quickly for refugee encampments.  

The Combo can provide boreholes up to 6”. A short time checking websites for orgs such as Development Gateway, ADRA, Wateraid, UN, Care International, Islamic Relief, Oxfam, Islamic Aid etc. will give a clear idea of how small a proportion of the need we can hope to fulfill, and demonstrate the unquestioned need for this Combo.
