Programme: All

The project proposal is aimed at providing the material prerequisites for the provision of a service related to the performance of drilling activities for the provision of groundwater, both for agricultural and domestic needs. The territory of the LAG covers an area in the Eastern Rhodopes, which is not rich in water resources. Droughts start already in early summer. There is a regime of water supply in small settlements. The population in the area, unlike other settlements in the country, is growing and the need for water is increasing. A solution to these problems is sought in drilling to find groundwater to cover the water needs. The main activity in the present proposal is the supply of a mobile drilling machine, complete with the necessary equipment for carrying out drilling activities. The services that are planned to be provided will benefit a large part of the population living in the villages of the territory, or this is practically the entire population of the LAG. Such services are currently provided by external companies, which is associated with high costs for transporting equipment and correspondingly high prices for the service. The implementation of the project will lead to the provision of an important service for the local community at a relatively more affordable price. The project is also relevant from the point of view of the increasing influence of climate change on the development of agriculture and the solution of food problems.
