Well I've been back in the Andamans for over a week now. It's nice to be back, see my friends again and start working. Right now Anand and I are conducting a survey of the bore wells on the islands. So we drive a motercycle all over the place. We are taking Mr. Jamal along with us. He has personally been involved in digging a significant number of the 2000 borewells here and has a great memory. We get a GPS point on each well and take down relevant data that includes the depth of the bore well, the depth of the water table, soil composition, how much water is there and so on. Hopefully with enough points we will be able to map the groundwater table of the Andamans (something that hasn't been done before). If it all works out this data will be published and could potentially tell one where a good place to dig a bore well would be and where one would probably not find water.
