Boreholes in refugee sites

This map was developed for the WASH section of the UNHCR by CartONG. It displays boreholes assessed by WASH focal points in different refugee sites and provides information on different types of pumps that are used, the depth in meter and the energy source. It also provides information on the concentration of chemical pollutants in water such as nitrate, arsenic and ammonia. For more information, visit: http://wash.unhcr.org/wash-gis-portal/
