Initial Assessments

Today we walked to the site where the communities water pipe crosses the river. This last summer a boulder hit the pipe during flooding and broke the pipe. We have been working on plans to repair the pipe, and it appears like some other organization may also be doing the same thing because there is some recent progress on the pipe.

The pipe is a short distance from the school, but the source of the water is a hike up a baby mountain. We hiked up to the source after taking some pictures of the pipe. I haven't been hiking since CO, it was so great! Being surrounded by mountains again offers a constant reminder of the Creator.

Tomorrow we will be doing some surveying around the pipeline so that we can look into erosion and use computer simulations back home to predict future erosion. Some of the locals have told us that the people working on repairing the pipe should be back tomorrow, so hopefully we will get to talk to that work crew as well.
