SEARCH utilizes a Sourcing Process that is used to identify villages in Tharparkar that are in immediate need of clean water access. When the villages are identified, SEARCH has worked with key village members to assigned them duties that will ensure the Solar Well is properly maintained. Having a massive solar panel in a village is no small feat, and SEARCH always ensures that before it is implemented the village is well equipped to help manage the well. There is a designated community member who is trained on the solar system. This includes learning 1) How to operate the system 2) Optimum times to turn on the pump 3) Who to contact in case there are technical issues 4) How to maintain the security of the system against theft.
