Groundwater cannot be found everywhere. If properly located, a borehole can provide a good supply of water. If it is not, it will fail and thus result in wasted investment.
There are two common techniques of siting in Zimbabwe, the Traditional Method and the Geological survey Method.The traditional method or water dowsing/divining makes use of the Y branch, a water-filled bottle, L rods, pendulums etc. This method is used extensively in Zimbabwe and is surprisingly effective.
Good water dowers with experience are able to predict breaks, depths and expected yields to a great degree of accuracy. One must use caution in high mineral bearing areas as minerals in the earth crust can mimic the feel of breaks and errors can occur.

| Siting The Borehole |
Consider the following:
1. Pollution sources.2. Location.
3. Access.
4. References to the siter.
5. Siters statistics of success.
6. Guarantees and money back.
7. The yield and depth of other boreholes in the area.
8. Securing the hole in the future.
9. Distances from both power and water points.
Insist on a site report including a location sketch, GPS coordinates, breaks, expected water yield and depth. This information is needed for your ZINWA drilling 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.
