At Nakiso Borehole Drilling, we understand that the anticipation of a reliable water source is paramount. While we strive for optimal yields in every project, the unpredictable nature of groundwater means that sometimes, a borehole might not produce the desired volume of water. So, what happens when your borehole doesn't yield enough? We're here to explain the process and the solutions we offer.
Understanding Low-Yield Boreholes
Several factors can contribute to a low-yielding borehole:
- Geological Formations: The aquifer (water-bearing layer) may have limited permeability or storage capacity.
- Drilling Location: Even within a property, water availability can vary significantly.
- Seasonal Fluctuations: Groundwater levels can fluctuate depending on rainfall and time of year.
1 - Aquifer Characteristics: The type of rock and its ability to hold and release water plays a crucial role.

Nakiso's Approach to Low Yields
We don't simply abandon a project when a low yield is encountered. Our commitment to providing sustainable water solutions drives us to explore all viable options:
- Thorough Assessment:
- We conduct detailed yield testing to accurately determine the borehole's output.
- Our experienced geologists analyze the geological data and drilling logs to understand the aquifer's characteristics.
- Solutions and Strategies:
- Deepening the Borehole: In some cases, drilling deeper can reach more productive aquifers.
3 - Fracturing: If the issue is low permeability, we may employ hydraulic fracturing techniques to enhance water flow.
- Borehole Rehabilitation: If the borehole is older or has become clogged, cleaning and rehabilitation can improve yield.
- Storage Solutions: For boreholes with lower but consistent yields, we recommend installing storage tanks to accumulate water over time, ensuring a reliable supply.
- Water Conservation: We advise clients on water-saving practices and technologies to optimize water usage.
- Multiple Boreholes: In extreme low yield cases, drilling additional boreholes can be explored.
- Deepening the Borehole: In some cases, drilling deeper can reach more productive aquifers.
- Transparent Communication:
- We maintain open and honest communication with our clients throughout the process.
- We provide clear explanations of the challenges and the available solutions.
- We provide the client with realistic expectations.

Five Facts About Borehole Drilling That You Need To Take Note Of:
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.
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).
3. The Is No 100% Guarantee On Water: 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.
4. Borehole Siting or Water Surveying 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.
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.
