| Colsons and E Howard in Headmaster's office. Notice the clear plastic bottle w/o any decals on his desk. He was aware of but did not know the proper procedure for solar purification of water. He thought you could just put it in reflected sunlight. If you fill a clear plastic bottle with contaminated water and set it in direct sunlight for 6-8 hours on a cloudless day, the UV rays from the sun kill all bacteria and viruses. |

 |
| The village toilet! Less than 4 meters from the well! Now you know why the water is so contaminated. The water in the well appeared to be about 1.5 - 2 meters below the surface, which is about the same depth as the toilet holes! Hygiene lessons anyone? |
