    This document provides guidelines for constructing a sanitary well that supplies safe drinking water. Key elements include locating the well at least 15 meters from sources of contamination and 100 meters from houses. The well should be lined with bricks or stones set in cement to a depth of 6 meters to allow water to enter from the bottom only. A parapet wall and cement platform with a gentle outward slope and drain are also recommended, as well as a covered top and hand pump or bucket for lifting water in a clean manner.
