GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY
The first thing that need to be determined is where the water is and how you will get to it. That is where the services of hydro-geologists are employed. They make use of a variety of borehole drilling methods to assess the geophysical properties of the underlying area.
These hydro-geologists ensures that you are not drilling into natura
The first thing that need to be determined is where the water is and how you will get to it. That is where the services of hydro-geologists are employed. They make use of a variety of borehole drilling methods to assess the geophysical properties of the underlying area.
These hydro-geologists ensures that you are not drilling into natural hazards or man-made infrastructure (pipelines, cables, phone lines etc)
DRILLING AND CONSTRUCTION
Once the hydro-geologist has helped to prepare a path for the borehole drilling, the construction of the borehole starts. Once the borehole has been drilled, the necessary unstable lengths of the borehole are steel cased in an effort to reinforce the tube.
PUMPING AND PIPING THE BOREHOLE
DETERMINATION OF THE YIELD OF THE BOREHOLE
The kind of pumping system and piping installed in your new domestic water borehole depends solely on the intended use of the borehole water.

DETERMINATION OF THE YIELD OF THE BOREHOLE
DETERMINATION OF THE YIELD OF THE BOREHOLE
In order to most accurately gauge the yield of a domestic water borehole, an aquifer test is performed. This involve installing a test pump and pumping borehole water for a fixed set of variables; a given time at a given rate and then assessing the test’s impact on the water level in the borehole. Maximum yield is achieved by increasing

This involve installing a test pump and pumping borehole water for a fixed set of variables; a given time at a given rate and then assessing the test’s impact on the water level in the borehole. Maximum yield is achieved by increasing the abstraction rate, ensuring optimum draw down of water in the borehole.
BOREHOLE APRON
DETERMINATION OF THE YIELD OF THE BOREHOLE
BOREHOLE REHABILITATION
Borehole Apron is a smooth impermeable surface constructed around a borehole (hand pump) to prevent spilt water soaking into the ground.
BOREHOLE REHABILITATION
DETERMINATION OF THE YIELD OF THE BOREHOLE
BOREHOLE REHABILITATION
There are a number of potential causes for reduced yield from a domestic or commercial water borehole. Borehole Rehabilitation is the act of restoring borehole to its original state.
