ROTARY CLUB OF SANTA BARBARA NORTH
Press Release Regarding Kyaani Kenya Water Well Project
March 18, 2019
In 2012, the Rotary Club of Santa Barbara North completed a successful, multi-phased project spanning several years from 2008 through 2012, in which a water well was drilled near Ngu Nyumu, Kenya, and infrastructure was added to transport the water to about 4,000 people.
In 2016, we again partnered with Evie Treen and geologist Pal Pauer to drill a well on the grounds of a secondary school in Kyaani, Kenya, which is about 30 miles southeast of Nairobi and in the same Machakos region as our first project in Ngu Nyumu. The host Rotary Club for this project is the Rotary Club of Machakos Syokimau, a club that was started in 2014, and has several young women from the area in leadership roles. William Muli is also a member of this Rotary Club. William is originally from Ngu Nyumu and was instrumental in the management and success of both of these projects.
Evie Treen, who has visited Kenya many times and is keenly aware of the need for water in remote villages, made our club aware of the need for water at the Kyaani High School in 2016. Evie is the founder of Friends of Woni International, Inc., a USA non-profit formed to help the needy in Kenya. Evie is also the owner of Vision Adventure Safaris, the USA affiliate of Woni Safaris, a Nairobi company owned in part by William Muli. We began raising funds for this project and ultimately obtained a grant of $13,125 from the Rotary Club of Santa Barbara North Charitable Foundation. Other contributors to the project were:
Rotary Club of Santa Barbara North $4,000
Friends of Woni Kenya (Evie Treen’s NPO) $1,700
Rotary Club of Oxnard $1,435
Rotary Club of Machakos Syokimau $ 100
Using Rotary International’s Global Grant process, these funds were matched by Rotary District 5240, which contributed $12,500, and by The Rotary Foundation which added an additional $18,587 using a Word Fund Match. In total, over $50,000 was raised. The money was spent to drill a water well and also to install a solar powered pumping system.
We were able to again enlist the generous services of Pal Pauer, who’s skill at locating well sites was used to determine the best site for the well. Pal Pauer is a hydro-geologist from California, and was present during the drilling of the well. The well site is actually on the grounds of the Kyaani High School, so the school board members acted as the Community Based Organization for this project.
Almak Aqua Drillers from nearby Machakos, Kenya, was again hired to drill the well. The well was drilled on September 25, 2017 and water was reached at a depth of 210 meters. On May 3, 2018, the pump, solar panels, water tanks and distribution system were completed. Fencing around the well site was completed on June 19, 2018. Training of the community in the operation and maintenance of the well, water handling and usage, and sanitation was completed by Kyaani High School staff on July 12, 2018. The system is working at full capacity and is able to fill four 10,000-liter tanks of water every day.
The project was dedicated on November 7, 2018 by members of the Rotary Clubs of Santa Barbara North and Machakos Syokimau, as well as members of the Kyaani High School and local community, and a plaque with the Rotary wheel was installed at the well site. The presence of water at the Kyaani School expedited the construction of a girls dormitory, which was completed in November 2018.
The well is maintained by the High School staff, with oversight from William Muli and other members of the Rotary Club of Machakos Syokimau. The water is currently being used to serve the Kyaani High School and surrounding community of approximately 2,000 people.

Thus our Planet with an active Magmatic Core Continues to Grow in Size and Volume.The understanding of the Continental Drift theory goes a long way to explain the ongoing emergence of New Waters.The separation of South America and Africa occurred at the continued addition of Water forcing the dry landmass ever farther apart along the line of the original fracture.It is impossible to estimate the rate/volume of the additional Water Converted from Magma and added to our planet, but it is safe to say that it is beyond our abilities to control or regulate this ongoing process.Our quest to Better Understand Water should go a long way in helping to understand the origins of Life Itself.Thank You for Your interest in Primary Water.The BestAs always,

A recent study documented the presence of vast quantities of water locked far beneath the earth’s surface. That study confirmed “that there is a very, very large amount of water that’s trapped in a really distinct layer in the deep Earth… approaching the sort of mass of water that’s present in all the world’s ocean”

Subject: The cycleDear Pal,I tried to read about Primary water. So far I don’t understand something. Unfortunately q&a did not cover this, so that’s why I’m writing to you now.
Well I might be wrong, but water, involved in secondary water cycle, will never get back under the mantle.
So the amount of water will increase above the mantle over time. And if humanity starts to bring up primary water in a faster rate can it cause environmental issues due to increased water saturation above the mantle?Thank you in anticipation!
Best Regards,
Zsolt

Precious Resources: Water and Landsat’s Thermal Band
“Chronic water supply problems in many areas of the West are among the
greatest challenges we face in the coming decades.” Mark Limbaugh, the U.S.
Department of the Interior’s (DOI) Assistant Secretary for Water and Science, told
U.S. Senators in 2006.1
He was largely echoing the findings of the DOI Water 2025 report. The report
explains that if future conflict over water in the West is to be avoided, water
efficiency needs to improve.2
Until then, conflict and environmental degradation
will be the costs of the increasing demands––dominated by agricultural irrigation
and swelling city populations––on limited water supplies.
Irrigation: a numerical explanation
Irrigation accounts for 80% of fresh water use in the U.S3
and worldwide, the
World Bank estimates 70% of fresh water use is for agriculture.4
The U.S. irrigates
over 50 million acres of agricultural land and 32 million acres of recreational
landscapes (lawns, golf courses, etc.).5
The total volume consumed by agriculture
and landscape irrigation is 50 trillion gallons per year;6
western states are
responsible for 86% of that consumption.7
A growing problem
The arid U.S. West is experiencing explosive population growth. The 2000
Census reported that one third of all Americans live in the West, and that the West
accounted for half of the overall U.S. population growth over that decade.8
Seven of the ten fastest growing U.S. cities are found in the West and
Albuquerque, El Paso, Las Vegas, and Tucson will not be able to supply enough
water for their burgeoning growth with present sources.9
Recent drought brought
about bitter legal battles for the precious water resources of the Rio Grande River
highlighting that the river’s waters are stretched thin between the city of
Albuquerque, farmers, endangered species, and local Native Americans
“Most groundwater comes from rain and snow that falls to the ground and percolates downward through the soil, until it accumulates above a confining layer (see Figure 1), or aquitard (see Figure 4). The area in the ground that is filled with water is called the saturated zone, and the top of the saturated zone is called the water table”. (What you just read is NOT the truth)
