Five facts about borehole drilling in Zimbabwe that you need to know

Borehole drilling is an essential service in Zimbabwe, given the country's geographical location and climate. With a dry climate and limited access to clean water, borehole drilling has become increasingly popular over the years. Nakiso Borehole Drilling is one of the leading companies in Zimbabwe providing borehole drilling services. Here are five unique and essential facts about borehole drilling in Zimbabwe that you need to know.


Borehole drilling is a cost-effective water solution

Water scarcity is a significant issue in Zimbabwe, especially in rural areas. Borehole drilling is a cost-effective solution to access clean water, particularly in areas where the water supply is scarce. Borehole water is free, and the initial installation cost is relatively low compared to other water sources.




Borehole water is safe for consumption

Borehole water is naturally filtered as it flows through different rock layers, making it safe for consumption without any additional treatment. Unlike municipal water which often contains harmful chemicals, borehole water is free from such pollutants, making it a healthier option.

Borehole drilling requires specialized equipment

Borehole drilling requires specialized equipment such as drill rigs, casing pipes, and pumps. Nakiso Borehole Drilling has invested in modern drilling equipment that ensures the successful and timely completion of borehole drilling projects.

Borehole drilling can improve crop yields

Borehole water can significantly improve crop yields, especially in areas where rainfall is limited. Irrigation using borehole water can help farmers produce more crops, leading to increased food security and economic growth.

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.
