In the photo below two of the crew port a flushing pump through the jungle. They weren't the easiest things to carry. The coiled tube looped over the pole is the inlet hose. Others, out of the frame, have the fire hose that connected to the flushing tubes.

It didn't take a lot of horsepower to make the holes in which we set the explosives and hydrophones - just a water pump and a couple of guys with pipe wrenches. Water was relatively easy to come by. In most cases the crew only had the dig a sump one or two feet deep and place the filtered end of the inlet hose into the sump.
