If you are looking to drill a Borehole in Zimbabwe, you want to know where to drill before going to the expense of drilling the Borehole.

The big question is “how deep am I going to have to drill to find water in my area, and what depth is the water table (the level below which the ground is saturated with water.)” Looking at the borehole records in your area is a good place to start.

After viewing the records for your area you will see that the depth and yield vary greatly. Some of the boreholes may find water in a unconsolidated zone and some in fractured bedrock. Whether you are looking to find or locate, an underground lake, underground river, underground stream or creek, underground spring etc they are all classified as groundwater.

Groundwater is the water found underground in the cracks and spaces in soil, sand and rock. It is stored in and moves slowly through geologic formations of soil, sand and rocks called aquifers.

When you drill into an aquifer the yield will depend on the thickness of the zone and hydraulic conductivity. If you drill in a location where the aquifer is the thinnest and has the lowest hydraulic conductivity you will get the lowest yield or a dry Borehole.

An area with a low hydraulic conductivity would be a material such as a mixture of clay and silt or un-fractured granite. A zone that would have high hydraulic conductivity would be clean gravel or highly fractured basalt. If you want to find the the location to drill with the highest potential yield you need find the location to drill that the aquifer is the thickest and has the highest hydraulic conductivity.

Using Borehole Siting especially the PQW technlogy for imaging aquifers we are able to find the best point to drill a borehole for you before drilling. After collecting data at your site we will send you a report detailing for each sounding location; depth to the base of the aquifer(s) and yield (gpm).

This way you can make an informed decision of where to drill or locate your Borehole, ensuring you drilled your Borehole in the location that will have the highest yield and avoid drilling an unproductive or dry borehole.
