On our third and final day of mapping and locating the wells, we met up with another man from FAI. Like Manjunath, he knew exactly where the wells are, and (spoiler alert) we were able to get through the remaining 43 three wells all in one day. We did not get interrupted today, which meant we moved quickly through the remaining sections of the park quickly and efficiently. I've attached a screenshot of the completed map of the wells throughout Cubbon Park, as well as a picture of Tessa painting our very last well!!
We had time to discuss and reflect on this entire assignment as a whole while walking between wells. We quickly got to the conclusion that using resources provided by our program or Biome is always the best option, because we are strangers in this city still, and these projects are way over our heads. We also discussed what we learned, and debated about the placement of the wells around the park. Mr. Vishwanath, the founder of Biome, had mentioned that recharge wells have different depths and locations depending on where the aquifer is underneath them, and so we kept this in mind as we saw groupings of wells very close together. It is also related to the depth of the wells, because this relates to the depth of the aquifers or the groundwater table, and this is one of the next steps in finishing documenting this project. We still have to identify the depth of all of these wells and their catchment area, then present our findings in a report, presentation, and poster. Being able to go through this progress, first visually in seeing every single well, then further associating these locations on a map and being able to see the spread of the wells provided us with context and understanding of the scope of these wells. Next, being able to associate values and write up our findings, as well as do research into what has been done and why, will allow us to have a full understanding and present a full analysis on the work that has been done.
We are excited to continue moving forward with this project and to put together a report, presentation and poster that Biome will be proud of and that FAI will want to use!
