Pumping tests and water analysis (physicochemical, bacteriological, arsenic, and fluorine).

2. Electromechanical Equipment Installation:

Solar-powered submersible pump system with a 1750 W photovoltaic station, electrical components, and safety measures.
PVC risers, pressure controls, and hydromechanical equipment for water extraction.

3. Water Tower and Network Construction:

A 5 m³ metal water tower (5 m high), equipped with supply pipes and safety mechanisms.

4. Associated Infrastructure:

Construction of watering troughs, a caretaker's room, and local access roads.
System disinfection and flushing.

5. Local Workforce and Resources:

Preference given to local labor, including women and youth, for trades like excavation, construction, and material supply.

Access Roads:

Temporary roads will be constructed for site access and removed post-completion if directed.
Implementation Methodology:
Geophysical and geoelectric surveys will identify optimal drilling locations, focusing on areas near livestock vaccination parks or animal transit zones.
The Schlumberger device will be used for detailed profiling, with parameters adapted based on geological conditions.

Note:

Drilling sites will be selected in collaboration with local technical livestock services to ensure alignment with animal husbandry activities.
