Video Documentary

The Project is shooting a Video Documentary on the water situation of the Andaman Islands. Three products will come out of this effort. The first will be a 30 minute documentary on the water issues facing the islands, the unique factors involved and how the Government and NGO's are working to solve these problems. The second product is 7 minute condensed version of the first and the final, 7 minute, product will focus on the work of the Andaman Water Project.

Abel from AlfredAllanAdvertising, Delhi has been hired to shoot the footage and do the editing work.

The first place to shoot was Ross Island where the British used a desalinization plant (now rusted ) to make the seawater drinkable.

Ross Island also happens to be a beautiful island with aging ruins from the British Empire that has been retaken by the forest.

Monday the team woke up extra early to catch the 4:30am Sunrise over Carbyn's Cove.

Dennyson (the Project Manager)...

...went on to describe the soil layers found on the Andaman islands, and why more then 3 meters of annual rainfall still doesn't produce much of an aquifer.

Then it was time to interview benificeries of a ringwell EHA had made in Attam Pahar.

And then film women collecting water from a bore well and hand pump that EHA has installed also in Attam Pahar.

The team has now set off on a week long tour of the islands to collect footage while Suman (Project officer) sets up interviews with Government officials and NGO's.
