A drilling supervisor stands on a low platform of steel grids wearing blue jeans, a black long-sleeved shirt and a white helmet with an orange brim and a yellow sun-block cloth falling from the helmet to his shoulders. His hands are on a thick platform used for drilling for water. The platform has various tubes perpendicular and parallel to the ground. To the left of the image, stands a man in black jeans, a black short-sleeved t-shirt and a wide-brimmed hat. He's standing next to a platform that holds a row of pipes. Behind both men is a pile of dirt and a wooden fence. In the distant background are green trees under a cornflower sky.
