Shallow Wells Field Manual

3. Collect the Materials

The villagers are responsible for making the bricks and collecting sand and stones for the concrete and mortar. These should be gathered and piled near the well site before the digging begins. The sand and stones for making the top slab need to be collected when the top slab is to be built, usually in August or September.

Collect materials for well

Collect the sand, stone, clay and bricks before the well is dug.

  • 4000 bricks
  • 50 pails river sand
  • 50 pails small stones - gravel
  • 1 cart large stones
  • 5 carts clay from anthill
