Here's another photo of a flushing team in action. While not the most pleasant of tasks, sometimes the spray of water help alleviate the oppressive heat and humidity. Most days I was on the line I'd end up soaked in sweat so rain was refreshing. This water though, is swamp water so not the most pleasant stuff.

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.
