At least 263 million people worldwide have access to water sources that are regarded as safe but many, especially women spend hours at collection points.
An additional 159 million draw their water from surface sources that are considered as unsafe, such as rivers, streams and ponds, however, water from such sources requires more time and effort to collect.
While the state has drilled manual boreholes in villages and urban areas facing severe water shortages, they are situated far away, with over 60 percent of rural water supply in Zimbabwe has broken down and need decontamination. In urban areas, piped water supply is sporadic and sometimes a health hazard, with reports of water-borne diseases outbreaks.

Energy is a scarce commodity in Africa compared to Europe and solar energy is a good alternative of fossil fuel since it is renewable at no cost so it can supply energy infinitely. Solar is efficient, you will generate more electrical power a borehole and use the excess for something else.

Fact 1: Know Your Borehole Casings
The Preferred Borehole Casing In Zimbabwe Is Class 9 and 10 (Pressure Classes.)
This is because Class 9 and Class 10 Casings are more collapse resistant. The strength of a Casing is often described as collapse resistance.
Fact 2: Borehole Drilling Depth
The exact depth, of where the water is located, cannot be established by the drilling contractor nor the Water Surveyor (Borehole Siter).
Fact 3: There Is No 100% Guarantee
It is important to note that it is never a 100% guarantee that any hole will yield water, the amount and water quality can also not be guaranteed by the drilling contractor and water surveyor.
Fact 4: Siting Is Important
Making use of a hydrologist or traditional water diviner will increase your chances of having a successful borehole that will yield a sufficient amount of water.
Fact 5: Know The Risks
The risk of the borehole drilling lies with the property owner. The client will still be liable for the drilling costs irrespective of a borehole yielding water or not.
