What is a borehole?
A borehole serves as a pivotal access point to groundwater, but its uses extend beyond
water sourcing to include applications like oil and gas extraction, cable or pipe
installation, and more
What are the components of a borehole?
The Borehole Itself:
This refers to the actual hole that is drilled into the ground, allowing access to the
Earth’s layers for resource extraction.
The Casing:
A steel pipe is inserted into the borehole to prevent it from collapsing, ensuring
stability and integrity.
The Screen:
A filter is positioned at the bottom of the borehole to sieve out sediment, ensuring
that extracted water remains clean.
The Pump:
Essential for drawing water from the borehole, catering to various water needs.
How much does it cost to drill a borehole in Kenya?
The expenses associated with borehole drilling in Kenya are subject to variations
based on specific parameters, including borehole depth, geographical location, and
geological attributes. The mean expense stands at approximately KES 6,500 for each
meter, inclusive of casing. However, there are instances where the cost elevates to
about KES 9,000 for each meter
What is the depth of boreholes in kenya?
Typically, borehole depths within Kenya span from as high as 50 meters to as low as
400 meters, albeit subject to fluctuations contingent on prevailing water table levels
and geological configurations
What are the requirements to drill a borehole in kenya?
The aggregate expenditure for executing borehole drilling in Kenya can fluctuate
within the spectrum of KES 1.2 million to KES 3 million, contingent upon the
aforementioned variables.
