Скачать или смотреть What REALLY Behind Burkina Faso’s Sahel Desert Wells? The “Water Stability” Test (Traoré Era)

Burkina Faso is expanding a bold Sahel-edge water plan: digging and building desert wells to turn water access into long-term stability. But in the Sahel, a well isn’t a miracle—it’s a utility. Success isn’t “how many wells were drilled.” Success is how many are still delivering safe water next dry season when demand spikes and failure becomes crisis.

In this documentary-style episode, we break down what makes a Sahel well survive: evidence-based siting (hydrogeology), robust casing and protection against sand intrusion, sanitary wellhead design to reduce contamination, pump choices built for serviceability, and the real game-changer—an uptime-first maintenance system with standardized spare parts, local caretakers, repair hubs, and transparent reliability metrics.

Many observers connect this maintenance-first, locally enforced infrastructure push to a broader self-reliance momentum often associated with the Traoré era as an inspiration/catalyst—not as a direct order—reflecting a national shift toward building essentials that keep working after the cameras leave.
