The process of getting a borehole installed
Four stages, each ending in a document you keep.
- 1
Geological Survey and siting
A borehole geological survey identifies the best location and expected depth for groundwater. A hydrogeologist studies geological maps, satellite data, existing boreholes, and surface geology, then conducts geophysical tests such as electrical resistivity. The results indicate underground rock formations, possible aquifers, groundwater depth, and the most suitable drilling point.

Drilling and installation
Drilling, Casing, gravel pack, flushing until the water becomes clear, then the pump instalation and development. The drilling log is written as it happens, not afterwards.
- 3
Testing and handover
Water tests and a day of committee WASH training, and a signed handover certificate with the drilling log and the test results attached.

How is a borehole priced in Uganda?
In Uganda, borehole drilling is usually priced mainly by depth (metres), but the final price depends heavily on the ground conditions, Location , Materials and what is included in the package.

[DEMO] How to read a drilling log
The document handed over at completion, explained line by line — and the one number to check first.

[DEMO] What a water test does and does not tell you
A clean result on the day of handover is a snapshot, not a guarantee. What matters is the second test.

[DEMO] Why we publish our response times
A promise nobody can check is a marketing claim. A published median that can go the wrong way is not.
Planning a water programme?
Tell us the district, number of water points, and required timeframe. If you are unsure of the districts, we can help identify suitable districts for you. We then provide a clear quotation based on the applicable borehole depth, with all fixed costs itemised separately
