In the challenging agricultural landscape of Zimbabwe, access to reliable water sources is crucial for sustaining farming operations, especially in the face of erratic rainfall and frequent droughts.
The Water Crisis in Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe has grappled with a persistent water crisis exacerbated by climate change and aging infrastructure. Rainfall patterns have become increasingly unpredictable, leading to prolonged dry spells and reduced surface water availability. |
| Harnessing Borehole Water: A Sustainable Investment for Zimbabwean Farmers |
The Role of Borehole Water
In this challenging environment, borehole water has emerged as a lifeline for farmers. Boreholes tap into underground aquifers, providing a reliable and sustainable water source that is less susceptible to fluctuations in rainfall. Unlike rivers or dams, borehole water can be accessed year-round, ensuring that crops receive consistent irrigation even during the dry season.Benefits to Farmers
The decision to invest in borehole water represents a strategic move for farmers aiming to secure their agricultural activities for the long term. Here are some key benefits:- Water Security: Boreholes offer farmers a dependable water supply independent of seasonal rainfall, reducing the risk of crop failure due to droughts or water scarcity.
- Flexibility and Control: Farmers with boreholes have greater control over their water resources, enabling them to irrigate crops according to their needs and schedules.
- Cost Savings: While the initial investment in drilling a borehole can be significant, the long-term savings on water bills and increased crop yields often outweigh the costs.

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.
