A Dry Borehole Or Dry Hole.
At Nakiso Borehole Drilling, we understand the disappointment and frustration that comes with a dry borehole. It's a common misconception that water is guaranteed once you start drilling, but the reality is that water is an underground mineral. Like gold, oil, or gas, the quantity and quality of this mineral can only be ascertained after a thorough exploration process.
Drilling a borehole is, by its very nature, a form of exploration. This is why professional siting and expert drilling are so crucial to the process. The same principle applies to other natural resources. As a publication by The Herald on November 2, 2018, where the then Minister of Mines and Mining Development, Winston Chitando, was quoted as saying, "There is need to drill an exploration well to confirm the presence of oil and gas in Muzarabani.". This further highlights that the true value and availability of any underground mineral, including water, are determined through exploration.
We are proud to maintain a 92% success rate in our borehole drilling projects, a testament to our commitment to excellence and our use of advanced technology and experienced geologists for borehole siting. While we cannot offer a 100% guarantee of success—as no one can when dealing with the unpredictable nature of underground resources—we significantly increase your chances of finding a reliable water source.
Our mission is to provide sustainable water solutions for our clients. We believe that by educating our clients on the geological realities of borehole drilling, we can manage expectations and build a relationship based on trust and transparency.

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.
