Why a Water Survey is Your Best Investment Before Buying Land
In Zimbabwe, purchasing a residential stand or a farm is a significant life milestone. However, the value of that land is directly tied to its water potential. In a climate where municipal water can be unreliable, your borehole is your most valuable asset.
The Crucial Importance of a Water Survey
A hydrogeological water survey is a scientific assessment of the groundwater potential on a specific property. Skipping this step is like buying a car without checking if it has an engine.
Financial Protection: Drilling a "dry hole" is an expensive mistake. A survey confirms if an aquifer exists before you commit your hard-earned savings to a property.
Accurate Costing: The survey estimates the required drilling depth. Knowing if you need to drill 40 meters or 100 meters allows you to negotiate the land price or budget effectively.
Sustainability: A survey determines the "recharge rate," ensuring you don't over-extract water and cause your borehole to run dry in three years.
Legal Compliance: In Zimbabwe, ZINWA (Zimbabwe National Water Authority) requires a professional siting report to issue the mandatory "Authority to Drill" permit.

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.
