Tekyekrom is situated on the Dunkwa-Obuasi road. We will drill holes on 3 locations there. Location 1 is where we are currently drilling for water, using the FloFlo.
.
The FloFlo
The FloFlo is an ancient drilling tool, modernised by dutchman Floris de Vos in 2011 (see Facebook page) The FloFlo employs a hoist using a three legged tower. The drillbit is repeatedly hoisted and released to pulvarise the hard soil as it hits the ground. Once a substantial amount of soil has been pulvarised, the drillbit is replaced by the bailer, equiped with a valve, to pull out the soil. Thus it is a manpower driven drill tool. Anyone can do it, and it is cheap and efficient.
