​

Why Drill A Borehole in Bungoma County?

​

Groundwater is an important component of water supply in Bungoma, particularly for households, farms, institutions and communities that need reliable water sources.

The County Government of Bungoma has itself commissioned work covering groundwater mapping, environmental assessment and hydrogeological investigations, including the use of existing drilling data, field water-point surveys, water-level and water-quality information, geophysical investigations and identification of favourable exploration zones.

This highlights an important point for anyone planning a borehole in Bungoma: groundwater conditions should be assessed before drilling.

The depth, yield and quality of groundwater can vary between locations, so drilling based only on information from a nearby property may not produce the desired result.

Hydrogeological and Borehole Siting Survey Services in Bungoma

Our hydrogeological assessment helps identify the most promising location for drilling.

The assessment may consider:

  • Local geology

  • Existing boreholes and wells

  • Groundwater occurrence

  • Geological structures

  • Topography

  • Drainage

  • Water levels

  • Potential recharge areas

  • Potential contamination sources

  • Expected groundwater conditions

  • Intended water demand

Where appropriate, geophysical investigations can provide additional information about subsurface formations.

The purpose is to reduce the risk of poorly located drilling and provide a technical basis for the proposed borehole.

A hydrogeological survey cannot responsibly guarantee a specific quantity of water. Actual borehole depth, yield and water quality must be confirmed through drilling and testing.

Borehole Drilling Process in Bungoma County

​1. Initial Site Assessment

We discuss your location, intended water use and estimated demand.

​

2. Hydrogeological Survey

Our team assesses the site's geological and groundwater conditions and identifies a recommended drilling location.

​

3. WRA Compliance

Groundwater development in Kenya is regulated by the Water Resources Authority. WRA's groundwater framework covers borehole siting, construction, supervision and pumping tests.

Groundwater Works can assist with the relevant permit and compliance process.

​

4. Borehole Drilling

The borehole is drilled using equipment and methods appropriate for the geological conditions encountered.

​

5. Borehole Construction

Casing and screens are installed according to the geological formations encountered during drilling.

​

6. Borehole Development

The borehole is developed to remove drilling residues and improve hydraulic connection with the water-bearing formations.

​

7. Test Pumping

Test pumping assesses borehole performance and helps determine appropriate pumping conditions.

​

8. Water Quality Testing

Water samples are submitted for laboratory analysis to determine suitability for the intended use.

​

9. Pump Installation

We can assist with selecting and installing an appropriate submersible, solar or electric pumping system.

How Much Does Borehole Drilling Cost in Bungoma?

Frequently Asked Questions

Is groundwater available throughout Bungoma?

Groundwater occurs in Bungoma, but its depth, yield and quality can vary considerably between locations. A site-specific hydrogeological assessment is therefore recommended.
 

Do I need a hydrogeological survey before drilling?

Yes, a professional survey is strongly recommended. It helps identify a technically favourable drilling location.
 

How deep should a borehole be in Bungoma?

There is no universal depth. The required depth depends on local geological and groundwater conditions.
 

Can borehole water be used for drinking?

Potentially, but newly developed borehole water should be laboratory-tested before being used for drinking.
 

Do you assist with WRA permits?

Yes. Groundwater Works assists clients with the applicable WRA permit and regulatory process.
