Finding reliable water in Zimbabwe starts with expert borehole siting. At Nakiso Borehole Drilling, we understand the importance of getting it right the first time.
Understanding Zimbabwe's Hydrogeology:
Zimbabwe's diverse geology presents both challenges and opportunities for borehole drilling. Understanding the underlying rock formations, drainage patterns, and potential water-bearing zones is crucial for successful siting. |

Traditional Methods:
- Divining Rods (Dowsing): A time-tested method using Y-shaped rods or pendulums. While some view it with skepticism, experienced dowsers can be surprisingly accurate in pinpointing potential water sources.
Scientific Siting Methods:
- Geophysical Surveys: These surveys utilize electrical resistivity, seismic, or electromagnetic techniques to map subsurface features and identify potential water zones. Nakiso Borehole Drilling utilizes geophysical surveys for a data-driven approach.
- Remote Sensing: Satellite imagery analysis can reveal geological features and drainage patterns that indicate promising areas for borehole placement.
Additional Considerations:
- Land Use and Infrastructure: Avoid locating your borehole near potential contaminants like septic tanks or waste disposal sites. Maintain a safe distance from buildings and electrical lines.
- Topography: Slopes and drainage patterns can influence groundwater flow. Analyze the topography of your land to optimize borehole placement.
- Existing Boreholes: Consulting data from nearby successful boreholes can provide valuable insights into local water table depths and yields.

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.
