Your Complete Guide To Borehole Drilling in Zimbabwe

What Is A Borehole: A borehole is a generalised term for any narrow shaft drilled in the ground, either vertically or horizontally. 

A borehole may be constructed for many different purposes, including the extraction of water or other liquid (such as petroleum) or gases (such as natural gas), as part of a geotechnical investigation or environmental site assessment, for mineral exploration, or as a pilot hole for installing piers or underground utilities. Boreholes used as water wells are described in more depth in that section.

In the engineering and environmental consulting fields, the term is used to collectively describe all of the various types of holes drilled as part of a geotechnical investigation or environmental site assessment. This includes holes advanced to collect soil samples, water samples or rock cores, to advance in situ sampling equipment, or to install monitoring wells or piezometers. Samples collected from boreholes are often tested in a laboratory to determine their physical properties, or to assess levels of various chemical constituents or contaminants.

Casing The Borehole: Typically, a borehole used as a well is completed by installing a vertical pipe (casing) and well screen to keep the borehole from collapsing. This also helps prevent surface contaminants from entering the borehole and protects any installed pump from drawing in sand and sediment. When completed in this manner the borehole is then more commonly called a well: whether it is a water well, oil well or natural gas extraction well.

What Is A Borehole - Your Complete Guide To Borehole Drilling in Zimbabwe

Groundwater is one of Zimbabwe’s most valuable natural resources. Even though most large cities get their water from surface sources such as lakes, rivers, and dams, it is estimated that there are ten times as much freshwater below the land surface than in all the lakes and rivers combined. Groundwater is a far safer water source than surface water because it is protected by soil or rock, and is not so easily contaminated. A properly constructed water well is the best way to ensure that the water you drink is safe and clean.

A properly constructed borehole or water well should last a lifetime. Whether drilling a borehole for industrial units or for a domestic supply there a several important key factors which should be considered before drilling proceeds.

• The location of the borehole and the design should be uppermost, the borehole should be drilled as far away from any potentially harmful contaminants as possible.
• The minimum yield, this is the least amount of water the borehole would produce in order to make it viable.
• The geological formations that will be drilled and the chances of potential aquifers.
• The depth and the diameter of the finished well, varies on smaller projects depending on drilling conditions but is important on larger ones as pumping equipment must be planned for at the outset.

All casings, liners and screens used should be to water authority regulations standards and a gravel pack should be installed to act as a filter media whenever possible a sanitary seal should be set below ground, the depth depending on overburden formation and either cased or grouted up to ground or chamber level.

PERMEABLE VS IMPERMEABLE SURFACES:

What Is Permeable: A permeable surface is one that allows water to pass through it, and an impermeable surface doesn’t allow water to pass through it. An example of a permeable surface would be soil or gravel and an example of an impermeable surface would be granite or slate.

What Is Impermeable: Because rocks are hard you might be inclined to think that they are impermeable, but not all are. Some rocks have tightly bound particles that don’t allow water to move through them, whilst others have round loosely bound particles that allow water to pass through them. Permeable rocks are generally porous and are crumblier, one example being sandstone.

Ground Matter: So why does the makeup of the ground matter? Well, when it rains, water seeps into the ground travelling through permeable materials deep into the earth, sometimes even thousands of meters deep.

Water Collection: When the water reaches an impermeable layer of material, the water can’t travel down any further and so starts to collect on top of the impermeable material. These water-filled sections of soil sand and rock are known as aquifers, which is what’s needed for a water borehole.

HOW DO YOU ACCESS THE AQUIFER?

To access the aquifer a specialist drilling company will need to come and drill a vertical hole into the ground to the depth of the aquifer. A special casing will need to be inserted into the hole to keep debris from falling in and to stop it from collapsing.

Water Pump Pipe: Once the hole is drilled and everything is in place, the water pump is ready to be inserted. A submersible pump, fitted with a sediment screen, attached to a length of pipe is lowered into the borehole to reach below the water level. This serves to pump water out of the aquifer to the surface.

Having a viable borehole isn’t quite as simple as having water underground, there needs to be a great enough quantity for your needs. Whether or not there is enough water will depend on how much water is entering the aquifer, as well as the characteristics of the base impermeable layer.

Gravity: Groundwater acts in the same way as surface water, in that gravity causes it to flow downwards. This means that water collects in the deepest point of the impermeable layer. The level of this water (the water table) is dictated by the amount of water feeding the aquifer.

Distance: Not only do you need to consider the amount of water available, you also need to consider the depth of the aquifer. In some places you may only need to drill 20 meters to reach water, however, in others, you may need to drill 300 meters. The cost of drilling increases as the depth increases and so it can be economically unviable to pursue a water borehole.

So why does the makeup of the ground matter? Well, when it rains, water seeps into the ground travelling through permeable materials deep into the earth, sometimes even thousands of meters deep.

If managed correctly, boreholes can be a great source of reliable water. They make great water sources for a variety of users including domestic communities and commercial enterprises.

Buyer’s Guide Now that you know our Top Ten favourite picks for the best Submersible Water Pumps for Borehole Installation in Zimbabwe, you can finally choose the pump that suits your specific needs. 

But before you make that critical decision, you need to know what differentiates one submersible pump from another. In this section, we will tell you the essential things to consider when looking for the right Submersible Borehole Pump for your needs.

1. Discharge Rate: The discharge rate refers to the amount of water the pump can pump in a minute. One fixture, such as a shower or sink, usually requires a discharge rate of one gallon per minute. If you’re using the water for your household needs, a rate of 20 gallons per minute could suffice. But you may need a higher discharge rate when watering a large farm.

2. Borehole Depth: If you have a shallow Borehole, a powerful pump may not be necessary. But if you are pumping water from a deep Borehole, you need a strong pump that is built to handle the height. Making the wrong choice means you may still fail to access the water.

3. Efficiency: A highly efficient pump will provide you with water using the least amount of energy possible. The higher the efficiency, the lower the cost of your electricity bill. So, choose wisely.

4. Warranty: Your confidence in a product should increase if a warranty is part of the deal. The submersible pumps on our list are backed up by some form of warranty. The standard warranty usually lasts a year. But you can get more with some models. It is better to always check with the company if you’re not sure about their warranty offer.

5. Durability: A good submersible pump should serve you for many years. Ensure you buy one made with the best craftsmanship using only high-quality materials. Stainless steel is one of the best choices of material for your pump’s casing.

6. Versatility: A submersible water pump can be used for different purposes. But some pumps may not be suited for handling specific tasks. You may want to buy a versatile pump that you can use in various areas, including a swimming pool, fish pond, or borehole.

7. Discharge head: While all submersible water pumps will move water from a lower location to a higher place, the maximum height that each pump can move the water will vary depending on the discharge head. Pumps with minimal discharge heads are suited for smaller heights, while pumps with higher discharge heads are suitable for Deep Boreholes.

8. Tips when buying: When estimating the number of gallons per minute, consider the demands of your household at a typical peak, not your average use.

If you have a Borehole with low capacity, buy a tank for additional storage to ensure you have water during peak demand. Purchasing a tank will also increase the life of your pump since it will cycle less.
Take water pressure into consideration. While most appliances in your home won’t need more than ten psi worth of pressure, lawn sprinklers could require up to 40 psi.

Equipment related to water conditioning, such as a water recirculating pump, usually decreases the overall pressure of your pump.

Most Submersible Borehole pumps should be placed at least 5 feet above the bottom of the Borehole. But if your borehole has a sandy bottom, set it to 15 feet or 20 feet above the ground to prevent sand from being sucked into the pump.

Remember to clean the water inlet regularly. The filtered sand, garbage, or debris usually accumulates around the inlet over time and may cause it to malfunction.

Those are our ten best picks for submersible pumps on the market today. Most of these will last you for 15 years or more and have reasonable flow rates and good depth. Be sure to conduct routine maintenance to ensure that your pump remains in tip-top shape. If possible, it is also important to buy a storage tank to reduce strain on your water pump.

Hopefully, we have made your search for the best submersible pumps much easier. Whatever pump you choose should be guided by your personal preferences and unique needs. Our favourite pick is the Grundfos Borehole Submersible Pump. But if you are looking for value for money, the DAB Borehole Submersible Pumps and Sterlin Submersible Pumps should work just fine.

How Does Submersible Pumps Works? Understanding the complete working of Borehole Submersible Pumps is quite easier and you do not need to be technically advanced to know how things work behind the scene. The main work of using a borewell submersible pump is to convert the rotational energy into kinetic energy using pressure energy that is directly pulled from the PUMP you are using.

When the water goes via the pump, then at the same time it also moves through the intake. After that, the water is pushed through the impeller rotation and then finally into the diffuser section for final use.

Finally, the Water will be moving towards the surface level to use for different purposes according to requirements. In order to properly utilize the submersible pump, you need to know some points. First of all your pumps must be submerged in the water all the time for taking care of full benefits.

Otherwise, if due to any means, pumps come out of the water, then it starts giving overheating and certain internal hardware components problems. Thankfully, it is completely free to keep this point remembered for the proper functioning of submersible pumps.

Furthermore, you can utilize the submersible pump in different operational uses either at your home or business according to the demand of the work. For example, they can be used to drain water from large size fields for maintaining the water level reasonably well across the given areas.
