Résumé:
Ce compendium donne un aperçu des expériences, des résultats et des défis du forage manuel dans 36 pays différents. Il incite les acteurs de l'approvisionnement en eau à s'intéresser plus sérieusement à la fois à cette technologie et aux foreurs manuels eux-mêmes, afin d'accompagner le développement d'un secteur de professionnels du forage manuel (lorsque cela est viable) en parallèle des professionnels existants du forage mécanique. Abstract:
Manual drilling refers to several drilling methods that rely on human energy to construct a borehole and complete a water supply. The various techniques can be used in areas where formations are quite soft and groundwater is relatively shallow.
Manual drilling can provide safe drinking water. The equipment can easily be transported to remote, or difficult to serve populations which would otherwise be left behind. The lower costs compared to machine drilling are appreciated by households, businesses and governments. Manual drilling also provides local employment.
Manual drilling methods are being used to provide water for drinking and other domestic needs at least 36 countries around the world. In some places, manual drilling methods are well established.
The compendium provides a useful overview for those wishing to further examine the impacts and challenges of manual drilling, and, more importantly, improve practices on the ground. It is hoped that the document will spur others to undertake fur-ther studies as well as research to document stories and analyse the promotion, uptake and use of manually drilled boreholes. In addition, the compendium should also enable those promoting manual drilling to realise that they are certainly not alone in their endeavours
