Region: Zimbabwe Nationwide

Before you drill, it is crucial to understand the risks, requirements, and realities of accessing groundwater. Here are the top 5 facts you need to know.
A Brief History of Drilling
Borehole drilling dates back to the Han Dynasty (202 BC). Chinese engineers used deep drilling for mining, reaching depths of up to 600m. By the 11th century, they could reach 3,000 feet, a feat not matched by the West until the 19th century.
A borehole is a narrow shaft bored into the ground, either vertically or horizontally. It is constructed for extracting water, mineral exploration, or geothermal installations.
5 Facts You Need To Know
Essential knowledge for every Zimbabwean property owner.
1. KNOW YOUR CASINGS
The Standard: The preferred casing in Zimbabwe is Class 9 or 10. These high-pressure classes offer superior collapse resistance compared to cheaper alternatives.
2. DEPTH IS UNKNOWN
The Reality: Neither the driller nor the surveyor can guarantee the exact depth where water will be struck. Estimates are educated guesses based on geology.
3. NO 100% GUARANTEE
The Risk: There is never a 100% guarantee that a hole will yield water. Quality and quantity cannot be promised by any honest contractor.
4. SITING IS CRUCIAL
The Strategy: Using a professional hydrologist or water surveyor significantly increases your chances of hitting a successful aquifer.
5. CLIENT LIABILITY
The Cost: The financial risk lies with the property owner. You are liable for drilling costs whether the borehole yields water or is a "dry hole."
