CURIOUS? We get many questions on social media and via email - so we created an FAQ page on our website to answer some of the most frequent queries. If you have a question you don't see on the page, just post in the comments and we may add it in! www.ryanswell.ca/about-us/faqs
WATER SOURCE WEEK: Deep Wells. Deep wells (also known as boreholes) access groundwater reserves, known as “aquifers,” which are collections of water deep in the ground, and bring this clean water to the surface through piping and a pump. More: www.ryanswell.ca/our-projects...
WATER SOURCE WEEK: Rainwater Harvesting Tanks. Rainwater harvesting tanks collect rainwater from the roofs of nearby buildings, using PVC piping as gutters, and directs the water to big cement holding tanks, which can then be accessed by the community with a tap. www.ryanswell.ca/our-projects...
WATER SOURCE WEEK! All the different types of water sources we build. Today: Protected Springs...these collect water from existing streams or springs flowing downhill and filtered. All these kids enjoy clean water from a protected spring. More: www.ryanswell.ca/our-projects...
