high enough so water will not be adulterated by the ground
salinity.

Call a meeting of the whole village to decide: 1. How much each
family is prepared to pay in writing for the use of the solar unit
Each house will get one fixed solar light(11 watt) in
the house, one LED Light, one solar lantern and one
plug to charge mobiles costing $ 350 each
2. Form a Village level Committee to Collect the monthly contribution
for repair and maintenance and paying the women engineer
