Hydrogeological Survey & Borehole Siting

Know Where to Drill, Before You Drill

Drilling in the wrong spot is the single most expensive mistake a landowner can make. A borehole sunk on a guess can mean a dry hole, a low yield, or water so deep it costs a fortune to pump. At Groundwater Works Kenya, we remove that guesswork with a data-driven, ground-truthing hydrogeological survey that identifies the highest-probability water points on your land before any drill bit touches the ground.

Using Transient Electromagnetic survey equipment alongside geological mapping and desktop hydrogeological research, our team profiles the subsurface layer by layer, reading rock formation, water-bearing zones, and estimated depth to water with a precision that traditional methods simply can't match.

What the survey covers:

• Desktop review of regional geology, existing borehole records, and aquifer data for your area

• On-site TEM geophysical survey to map subsurface resistivity and identify water-bearing zones

• Ground-truthing against surface geology, drainage patterns, and vegetation indicators

• Identification and ranking of the best drilling point(s) on your farm or site

• A detailed hydrogeological report with recommended drilling depth, expected yield range, and siting coordinates

Why it matters:
A proper siting survey doesn't just improve your odds of striking water, it tells you how deep to plan for, what yield to expect, and what equipment to budget for downstream. It's the foundation every successful borehole project is built on.

Ideal for:
Farms and ranches, schools and institutions, commercial and industrial sites, real estate developments, and community water projects.
