I am working on a community water project in Maasai Mara Narok. I have just received 2 Hydrogeological survey reports (VES). Could I kindly get some guidance on how to interpret the data and make an informed decision on whether to drill or not.

You can find all necessary information and guidance on the ACF book "water, sanitation and hygiene for population at risk". You can download it for free from ACF website. https://www.actionagainsthunger.org/si...

Have a look here in this groundwater book here https://www.developmentbookshelf.com/d... Also there are some guidance notes here on drilling: https://rural-water-supply.net/en/sust... in particular our note on siting of boreholes: https://www.rural-water-supply.net/en/...
