Water Siting Methods In Zimbabwe - Siting Boreholes In Zimbabwe |
The differences in rock characteristics such as magnetic intensity, density, electrical resistivity as well as seismic velocities are used. The observations of these differences are interpreted in terms of the existing geology, for the best siting of the borehole positions.
Our success is based on our ability to consistently locate high-yielding, sustainable groundwater wells within complex and typically low-yielding terrains.
We have identified, developed and permitted new supplies – within such complex terrains – for a wide variety of clients.
We are available 24/7 and make an effort to get to your site as soon as possible because we know that when it comes to water especially, time is money.

1. Electro-Seismic Surveying method: The Electro-Seismic Surveyor (ESS) is based on the phenomenon of electro-seismic signals that are generated through the relative movement of water against the sub-surface rock matrix.
In the history of man looking for ways to locate usable underground water in the last decade or so, we have designed methods geared to gather information about the rock matrix and subsurface structures that could bear groundwater, but the presence of water was only determined once drilling commenced.
This unique approach to groundwater investigations and development brings a whole new dimension to groundwater geophysics. The ability to map groundwater, by directly detecting its presence, greatly improves on time and costs associated with groundwater development and investigation projects.
2. Electrical resistivity method: In this method, the difference in the passing of electrical current through different rock formations is measured. In this way, a difference in the resistivity of the rock types can be identified which can be correlated with possible water-bearing zones. Due to the fact that water conductivity is the most important cause of electrical conductivity in rock formations, this method is directly related to groundwater occurrences. A further advantage of this method is that the resistivity is not traced laterally only over an area (horizontal profiling) but also in-depth at a specific point (depth sounding).
3. Electromagnetic method: This method is related to the electrical resistivity method based on the difference in electromagnetic conducting abilities of rock formations. The inductive methods are used increasingly in groundwater explorations with the advantage of the speed with which the survey can be carried out. The field of application of the electromagnetic methods is similar to the electrical resistivity method.
4. Magnetic method: With this method a change in the normal magnetic field of the earth is perceived which can be used for picking up concealed geological contacts such as dolerite dykes. The use of this method with the necessary interpretative knowledge of the data can result in successful boreholes in the right geological area.
