6. Problems encountered
• Digging of trenches started a bit late due to extreme hot
weather and again it was delayed due to prolonged rain
during September/ October.
• The connecting forest road & bridges to the sites were
damaged due to heavy rain and thus transportation of pipes,
got delayed till it was repaired by the forest dept.
• In Sanatulubi village, the laying of pipes was to be done
through paddy fields. So, we had to wait till harvest to start
digging of trenches through the paddy field.
