The Base Camp has 18 indigenous communities; 7 have been selected and are currently receiving well cleaning and drilling services.
The project implementation began in September and has been ongoing since then. The communities benefiting are: Sete Flores, Repouso, Homologação, Jawarizinho, Copaíba, Juazeiro, Itacutu, and the São Francisco community also benefited from the drilling of a new well.
During the project's development, activities included data collection, a training workshop for water sampling and analysis, and well drilling and cleaning.

The 1st Water Collection Training Workshop for AISAN and AIS was held from September 27th to 28th in the São Francisco Indigenous community, with the technical support of Environmental Engineer Ricardo R. Ramos, from DSEI-L RR/SESANI/SESAI, and with the presence of tuxauas and students from the communities of São Francisco, Repouso, Copaíba, Juazeiro, Jawarizinho and Saimã.
The collection of water for laboratory analysis involved the participation of environmental sanitation technicians from SESANI/SESAI and Fátima Andre. The collections were carried out in two stages: the first before the cleaning and drilling of the wells, and a subsequent stage comparing the samples.
The São Francisco community benefited from the drilling of a well, with the collaboration of Geologist Pedro from DSEI-Y/SESANI, accompanied by the DGTA team.
Well cleaning in the communities began on November 7th. The communities of Sete Flores, Repouso, Homologação, and Jawarizinho have already been served; the others are waiting to be attended to.
