How a Lack of Awareness Affects People's Access to Water Before the Construction of a Building
To many people, accessing water is the simplest and easiest. Due to that, people tend to neglect the importance of planning where they could locate their water wells before the construction of buildings. However, the importance of accessing water through Geophysical approach is consider inconsequential as a result of our familiarity with it.
We often talk about how important it is in our daily lives. We often preach about it as "one part of our lives." We often discuss how we can't do without it, but we pay less attention to accessing it.
In my years of experience as a groundwater specialist, I've seen people prioritise the construction of buildings over water while procrastinating their water well project until the completion of the building, believing it could be done after construction. Yes- some are lucky it works out due to favourable geology of the environment. I've also seen people with gigantic buildings wallowing in complaints as they couldn't access much water due to the unfavourable geology of the environment.
It's high time we put our water first before construction. Strategic planning should be made by engineers before construction and the right experts, like geoscientists, in locating the right place to drill before construction.
Water shouldn't be only discussed; it should be prioritised and valued in every aspect of construction.
