-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Yes, this video is amazing. After mapping literally hundreds of these wells we have still never seen one up close. What's more, we now know what causes the 'fans', it is the animal walking away from the well to pull up the bucket. This video is very helpful in understanding these wells and in confirming that we are mapping them correctly.
A big thanks to those who made this video and a heads up to any aid organizations or others in the field that things like this which don't seem important or useful can in fact be very important to our volunteers in understanding the place they are mapping. - -AndrewBuck On 03/06/2014 01:10 PM, Pierre Béland wrote: > Hi Severin > > In this Task Manager job descripton, there are examples give of > Intermittent ponds > url=http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=kn5s43gh3j74&lvl=19&dir=0&sty=b&form=LMLTCC > > If you zoom-out, it seems that all this zone is flood_prone.
