Why is it important to site a borehole using scientific methods?

Siting a borehole is like constructing a foundation for a house or storey building. Any house or building on a weak and bad foundation will collapse, resulting into colossal loss of money. Likewise, all money used to drill a borehole at a bad site will result into a dry borehole and wastage of scarce financial resources.

Siting a borehole using scientific methods will significantly increase the chances of drilling a successful borehole with good yields. This entails review of existing geological, hydro-geological, remotely-sensed data and conduction of geophysical surveys in the field to identify geological structures, which host groundwater – all this culminating into selection of good borehole sites for drilling.

Leskacon has experienced personnel and appropriate geophysical equipment based on the latest groundwater exploration technology. Over the years, the company has sited high yielding boreholes for various clients in various parts of Botswana.
