The Eco-Friendly Choice: Why Boreholes Are the Future of Water Supply In Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe, like many parts of Africa, faces water scarcity challenges due to climate change and overreliance on traditional water sources. Boreholes, however, offer a sustainable and environmentally friendly solution to this growing problem.  


Here's why boreholes are the future of water supply in Zimbabwe:

  • Sustainable Water Source: Boreholes tap into underground aquifers, providing a reliable and consistent water supply even during droughts. This reduces dependence on surface water sources that are often vulnerable to depletion.   
  • Eco-Friendly Alternative: Boreholes minimize the need for dams and reservoirs, which can disrupt natural ecosystems and displace communities. By tapping into underground water, boreholes preserve delicate surface water bodies.   
  • Improved Water Quality: Borehole water is often cleaner and less contaminated than surface water sources, reducing the need for extensive water treatment processes. This ensures a healthier and safer water supply for communities.   
  • Reduced Environmental Impact: Boreholes have a minimal impact on the environment compared to traditional water sources. They do not require large infrastructure projects or the diversion of water from natural rivers and streams.   
  • Energy Efficiency: With advancements in solar-powered pumping systems, boreholes can be operated using renewable energy sources, further reducing their environmental footprint.

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
Fact 5: Know The Risks
