Bore Holes


In many developing countries, the inadequate supply of drinking and irrigation water is a severe problem. In rural areas with no access to grid power, national water authorities and private farmers have to rely on hand pumps and diesel-powered pumps. Hand-operated pumps are the least-cost option for low consumption rates and low pumping heads. If hand pumps cannot satisfy the demand, diesel generators are used to power the pumps for Boreholes commonly used for drinking and irrigation water supply. These pumps also stand in competition with photovoltaic water pumps, which present themselves as a reliable and environment friendly.

TECH AFRIC Ltd has been involved in drilling many boreholes in Nigeria. These include upper as well as middle aquifer boreholes. We have experience of drilling boreholes on sedimentary and basement formations.
