Water: Still Thirsty

We were dealt a setback today. Paul got the results back from the water test from Ellachettladibba, and the saline levels are too high for a reverse osmosis water system.

Frankly, I was always a little confused how reverse osmosis could remove salt from water. Apparently it can if the levels are low enough.

So now we are going to try a very deep well, 400 feet or so. Hopefully that will get the water back on, but it will only buy us a little time; the deep well will eventually get contaminated by salt.

Please remember to pray for the island villages.
