Capitalizing on Underground Water Through Borehole Drilling Services
The climatic classification of Kenya is that it is an arid and semi-arid country. This categorization is based on the fact that 80% of the geographical coverage falls under this classification. It also receives a low average annual rainfall of less than 500mm. In some parts of the country, it is as low as 250mm annually. The country, therefore, experiences low and unpredictable rainfall. It is also a region of high temperatures and sparse vegetation.
The limited access to rainfall has had significant economic implications and this is because of limited use of the land. However, underground water provides an opportunity for people to develop economically and increase land use for different activities, ranging from agriculture to commercial activities. Borehole drilling services, therefore, represent an important process that can turn previously barren and underutilized lands into productive and profitable resources that could stir up economic growth and development in the country.

Thorough Borehole Survey and Licensing
The most critical first step of borehole drilling is conducting a detailed survey and from it obtaining the necessary licenses. This is the critical due diligence required to ensure that the processes align with the standards of ethics as well as the regulations in the country. At Value Energy Solutions Ltd., we prioritize this critical first step to ensure that every project is set up for success.
Our team conducts a detailed survey to assess the geological conditions, water availability, and the most suitable drilling locations. This survey is essential in determining the viability of the project and in making informed decisions about the drilling process and procedure. When this initial first step is carried out effectively the proceeding processes run smoothly and the chances of success are high.
To ensure that the borehole drilling process is legal and also aligns with government regulations, we ensure that you obtain the proper licenses. In Kenya, borehole drilling services requires compliance with regulations set by bodies such as the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) and the Water Resources Management Authority (WARMA). We will help you navigate through the bureaucratic process as our team at Value Energy Solutions Limited will handle all the paperwork, ensuring that your project meets all legal requirements and is completed on time.
Precision in Borehole Drilling
The next step after the survey and licensing is the drilling process. This is a process that requires a lot of precision in choosing the right equipment, the right strategy and executing the correct procedure for maximum outcome. At Value Energy Solutions Limited, we ensure that we follow the drilling plans and accurately make necessary adjustments in case of unexpected challenges that come up during the process. We ensure that that every decision is made to maximize and optimize the borehole’s longevity and efficiency providing a sustainable supply of water for all your needs.
Test Pumping and Borehole Equipping: Ensuring Efficiency
After the borehole is drilled, the next step is to conduct test pumping. Test pumping is a crucial phase that determines the borehole’s water yield and ensures that it meets the required standards. At Value Energy Solutions Ltd., we use advanced test pumping techniques to measure the borehole’s capacity and performance. This process helps us identify the optimal pumping rate and assess the borehole’s sustainability over time.
Test pumping is one of the most crucial step because it can determine the effectiveness of your borehole and its ability to adequately provide you with the yield that you require.
Approximate yield vs Actual yield
After borehole drilling it is left for some time for it to settle. Calculations have to be conducted based on the initial geological survey to determine the boreholes’ approximate yield of water. The actual yield of the borehole is calculated based on the amount of water obtained from the aquifer per a certain period of time.
The Borehole’s Pumping Water Level Equilibrium
A borehole is usually sources its water from underground aquifers. However, there is a specific amount of what that the borehole can provide and this is the overall yield of the borehole. There is also the amount of water that can be pumped from the borehole. The question therefore, is “does the borehole recharge enough water after drawing and pumping out?”. If the pump draws more water than what the aquifers provide, then it means that there will not be a constant supply of water. If the borehole pump is small compared to the yield, then it means that the borehole will be underutilized.
It is for this reason that test pumping is important because it demines the pumping water level equilibrium. This ensures that the borehole provides enough water continuously, reduces the risk of overdrawing and ensures that the borehole is fitted with the correct pump size and pump motor. The goal is to ensure that the borehole is sustainable in its water supply without limiting its ability to recharge and provide water in the future.
Every borehole is therefore, unique in terms of water yield and it is for this reason that the right pump in terms of size and power is crucial.
Once the test pumping is complete, the borehole is equipped with the necessary infrastructure to make it operational. We offer a range of pumps, including both submersible and surface pumps, to suit different needs. Additionally, we provide borehole solarization services, where we equip the borehole with solar power systems, making it an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution.
