A night-time photograph of a borewell drilling rig at a muddy site. Two workers wade through churning brown water spraying from the base of the green-painted truck-mounted rig. One worker wears a yellow headcloth and maroon-striped shirt with brown shorts; the other wears a white shirt and dark shorts, and both are barefoot and braced against the machine. Steel drill pipes rise above the rig and loose pipes lie on the ground, with a control panel of coloured levers on the left.
