Vertical Drainage :-
Attempts at vertical drainage have been
made, with a measure of success. A test hole was
sunk to a depth of 80 feet on the edge of a large
stagnant pool lying to the south of the American
Mission in Manamah. The result at first seemed
favourable, as the pool commenced to drain at the
rate of approximately 2” per day, but gradually slowed
up, ceasing altogether in approximately 15 days.
The bore has been kept clean, but the flow has not
re-commenced. Three more test holes were sunk, round
the pool, but without success, water being encountered
at approximately 30 feet, which commenced to flow
upwards. A considerable quantity of water, however,
was drained off during the fifteen days mention^ the
surface of the pool being lowered by approximately
I«6" - representing, say, lOOpOCTgallons of water.
Two test-wholes were also sunk (one on
each side) at the pool near the D.F.Station of Messrs.
Gable & Wireless Limited, but without result, v/ater
being encountered at 50 and 75 feet. The land
surrounding this pool is water logged to a depth of
I«6" - 2*0” below ground level due to seepage from
surrounding gardens, etc.
