(iii) Installing gravel pack material

(iv)Well development

(v)    Grouting

(vi) Pumping test/airlift

(vii)  Sealing the borehole

(viii) Water sampling and testing

(ix)    Water pump equipping

Water testing focuses on analyzing:

(i)     Physical parameters

(ii)     Chemical parameters

(iii)    Bacteriological parameters
