Hello, Please, i drilled my borehole on the 8th of August, and after the flushing, and installation, my water is not clean. I contacted the engineer, he said maybe the gravel packing was not enough so groundwater are getting into the hole. Have added alum, chlorine and caustic soda, yet no changes. Please, if you can help, i don't mind the bill, I just want clean water

It's very difficult to find potable water in SW region.

To find potable water there is like to find a virgin Nigerian girl.

Manage the water like that...atleast it's not brownish like the ones we use here in Ago Lagos, upon we installed filter.

What's the location of the borehole?

Did you carry out a geophysical investigation prior to drilling?

What was the recommendation?

What was the condition of the well when drilled?

How much development was done?

Survey was carried out, it shows that at 55m, 80m, and 110m there is acqufier, so at 60m we saw appreciable water, so the drilling was terminated, but during the drilling, the surrounding of the point of drilling was doing like VOLCANO ERUPTION

What does that mean?

What's the lithology of the aquifer?

Reason I'm asking about the location is to confirm the local geology.

Water seems milky, could that be as a result of limestone?

Abeokuta should bd basement complex.
I doubt you drilled to 60m depth.

Could you mean Ewekoro?

possible options:

1. Poor development after well completion

2. water is being tapped from aquifer (secondary porosity) that is partially/semi-weathered (presence of spec of silty/dissolved fine grained material ..in this case clay)

Option 1 can be addressed if Op does further development

If it is option 2, I am sorry that is the end

Peace!!!

@Adeoba10 please can you send the coordinate (latitude and longitude) of the location so that we would be precise with the right local geology which I believe, the thread would help you in better informed decision making.
