In Zimbabwe, where water scarcity is a growing concern, borehole drilling has become a popular solution for ensuring a reliable water supply. However, before you embark on this journey, it's essential to have a thorough understanding of the process and the factors that can influence its success.
Why Consider Borehole Drilling?
•Reliable Water Source: A borehole provides a consistent water supply, independent of seasonal rainfall variations.
•Improved Hygiene: Access to clean water significantly enhances sanitation and overall health.
•Increased Property Value: A borehole can add value to your property, particularly in areas prone to water shortages.
Key Considerations Before Drilling:
1. Site Selection:
•Geological Survey: Conduct a geological survey to identify potential water-bearing formations in your area.
•Distance from Existing Boreholes: Avoid drilling too close to existing boreholes to prevent interference with water levels.
•Land Topography: Consider the slope of the land and potential drainage patterns.
2. Permits and Regulations:
•Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA): In some cases, an EIA may be required, especially for large-scale projects.
•Local Authority Approvals: Obtain necessary permits from your local council or rural district council.
3. Borehole Depth and Diameter:
•Water Table Depth: The depth of the borehole will depend on the depth of the water table in your area.
•Water Yield: The diameter of the borehole will influence the amount of water it can yield.
3. Pump Selection:
•Submersible Pumps: These are ideal for deep boreholes and deliver water directly to the surface.
•Jet Pumps: Suitable for shallower boreholes and require a pressure tank to store water.
•Solar Pumps: An eco-friendly option that relies on solar energy to power the pump.
4. Professional Drilling Company:
•Experience and Expertise: Choose a reputable drilling company with a proven track record.
•Modern Equipment: Ensure they use state-of-the-art drilling equipment.
•Compliance with Regulations: Verify that they adhere to all relevant environmental and safety standards.

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.
