Drilling: the importance of good borehole siting

Groundwater cannot be found everywhere. If properly located, a borehole can provide a good supply of water. If it is not, it will fail resulting in wasted investment. This short film explains good borehole siting and its importance. For more details, consult the RWSN Publication: Siting of Drilled Water Wells - A Guide for Project Managers on www.rural-water...

This is a great interactive video. Well done!

So what you are saying is that i can drill where i want...there is no telling where water can be a 100m below the ground, on a flat surface of 1 HA........

There are ways of finding out - through groundwater maps, where they exist and using geophysical surveying techniques, but none of them guarantee that you will be able to drill a productive borehole (although if you are drilling into sedimentary deposits near a river or lake your chances are very high, but you might have quality problems instead)
