Geological Research Regarding A Well In Mutare, Zimbabwe, Laura Ruf

Opportunities for Undergraduate Research Experience Program (OURE)

The purpose of this project was to collect information regarding the geology and hydrogeology of the area surrounding Mutare, as well as any other information that would be needed for determining a water supply for a well that will be built there. Unfortunately, much of this information could not be found. The two water sources that seem to be the most easily provided are building a well on spot or extending pipes to the Pungwe project. Determining which is the better choice would require a geologist or geological engineer to survey the site planned for the orphanage.
