Key Activities Done

  • Site hydrogeological survey with focus on location of best drilling site.
  • Acquisition of necessary drilling authorisation from Water Resource Authority (WRA).
  • Drilling of borehole in two days attaining a good water strike through the formation with a yield of 6M3/hr. This is the typical yield for nearby boreholes in the order of 100 to 170m depths.
  • Supply, Installation and testing of solar pump and associated tank and pipeline infrastructure.
  • Application of water use permit from WRA on behalf of client.

The main cost saving of this project is we struck a high water table, with a good water supply and stopped drilling at 64M. We avoided unnecessary and expensive further drilling for these reasons:
