    A drilling rig mounted on a truck is actively operating at an outdoor field site, likely for water well or geotechnical drilling. A worker wearing an orange long-sleeve shirt and white hard hat is visible on the right side of the frame. In the foreground, a hose is discharging water or drilling fluid into a blue 5-gallon bucket.

    University of Hawaii researchers probing the aquifer on a high plateau on Mauna Loa-Mauna Kea needed a diamond wireline core drilling rig, brought to the Big Island from Minnesota, to drill deep underneath the volcanic slopes. They tapped into an aquifer at 1,800 feet, the first time a well had produced fresh water in this arid region that is home to the Army's Pohakuloa Training Area. Photo: Donald Thomas
