Project Objectives:1) Teach Water Self-Sufficiency
2) Promote Social Entrepreneurship• Train Embera Indians to drill and complete wells with the LS-100 drilling rig (www.lonestarbit.com)• Establish ‘cottage industry’ – well drilling, hand pump manufacture and repair• Provide on-site instruction

Accomplishments
• Trained 6-man Embera team• Team drilled three wells: two producers (c. 100 Lpm) and one dry hole (< 4 Lpm)• Team installed one submersible and one hand pump• Provided one LS-100, mud pump, 150 m of
10 cm ID PVC, drilling mud, 3 Bush hand pumps, cement, submersible pump, tools

Failures
• Poor USA-Panamá communications with locals; made coordination and planning difficult• No follow-up – future trips were canceled because of dangerous conditions (Plan Colombia)• Lost touch with team after training

Recent Events• In late 2007 learned that the
Embera team is still active and apparently still drilling (as of 2010)
• Need more water – population has doubled
• Possible follow-up trip (2012?) to check on team activities and needs.
