Ad-Hoc Community Well Projects - Ernakulam Village
Ingiriyamadu is situated about 30 kms from Batticaloa District, which consists of 300 acres of agricultural lands. About 58 families do farming for 7 months in a year and 15 families are permanently living in that area. A nearby natural pond is the only water resource for their agriculture, drinking and day-to-day needs.
The pond water is used for drinking purposes, despite having not been assessed & approved for drinking, which in turn causes frequent health issues. Furthermore, the pond water can only sustain the agricultural requirements for 5 families.
Blossom Trust reviewed the community’s’ requirements and consulted with district officers to construct a community well with a pump facility. The well was completed before the 2021’s monsoon which has resolved the drinking water facility for the whole village and allowed 25 families to do their agriculture to harvest their crops in a timely manner. This has enabled them to sustain their agricultural income.
