field visit report

Visited this borewell that was installed in 2010 because it has not been functioning for few months now. The hand pump is detached by the owner, debu das, due to dispute with the neighbors because he had requested the water users to fill water in buckets or pots instead of plastic bottles that spills more water. The new neighbor who constructed a one storey building opposite to their house is no longer allowing water to be drained over their property. After spending about 30 minutes in hearing stories of major incidents that occurred (including his son being almost beaten up) that forced him and his family to detach the hand pump. After talking to the neighbors and Debu Das and boosting his spirit once again saying that he gave the land for the community because he has a good heart and to rethink in doing the same. He agreed to re-attach the handpump and the neighbors will make the drain so that water passes to the pond that is behind the constructed house. Voila! problem solved. Shikha, the field worker of AWS, will follow up over phone next week.
