The rainy season can pose challenges to accessibility, especially in areas with poor infrastructure. Here are some tips to ensure that your property or business remains accessible, even during heavy rainfall:
Outdoor Considerations:
- Clear Pathways: Regularly clear pathways, driveways, and walkways of debris, leaves, and other obstructions.
- Drainage Systems: Ensure that your drainage system is functioning properly to prevent waterlogging. Consider installing additional drains or gutters if necessary.
- Slope Grading: Ensure that the slope of your property is sufficient to allow rainwater to flow away from buildings and structures.
- Landscaping: Plant trees and shrubs strategically to absorb rainwater and prevent soil erosion.
- Signage: Install clear and visible signage to guide people to entrances and exits, especially during low visibility conditions.
Indoor Considerations:
- Flooring: Choose non-slip flooring materials for indoor areas, especially in high-traffic areas.
- Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation to prevent mold and mildew growth.
- Heating and Cooling Systems: Maintain your heating and cooling systems to ensure optimal performance during fluctuating weather conditions.
- Emergency Preparedness: Have a plan in place to deal with potential flooding or power outages.
Additional Tips:
- Regular Maintenance: Schedule regular maintenance checks for your property to identify and address potential issues before they escalate.
- Emergency Kit: Keep an emergency kit on hand that includes essentials like flashlights, batteries, first-aid supplies, and water.
- Stay Informed: Monitor weather forecasts and be prepared for potential storms or floods.
By following these tips, you can help ensure that your property remains accessible and safe during the rainy season.

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.
