Hello great farmers we are trying to sink borehole on our new farm but getting water there for the people doing the borehole has been alot of issue. The place we want to pump the water is very far from our new farm so we tried to pump the water into a 1800ltrs tank that we place some distance from the borehole before pumping from there to the farm with the submersible pump that the borehole people want to use for us, but the water was only coming out small small.
So we opted for tanker to bring water for us but no tanker so we a pickup that will load about 40pcs 25ltrs keg and use it to bring water for us but the road is too slippery and bad so the drivers is no where to be found now. Please any idea on what we can do we have been on this project for over 2month now and they have only just dug 60ft going 170/190ft, coupled with the fact that there are also stone inside the ground that they also have to break but that is little. Water is the most important thing there.

Pls how much does it cost to dig a borehole ? I am in Ogun state

If u experience such difficulty trying to get water to that place. U need a high rate transfer pump, not submersible pump u are using,(or irrigation pump) that can transfer water to far distance. What is d distance from d water source to location of new borehole

Otherwise u shd have had a well closer to u for domestic used

It depend on the geophysical survey report and soil formation of that area.
Which area are u in Ogun state, let discuss

The distance is upto 600m because we used over 10bundle of 3/4'' hose when trying the method above and each bundle is 50m. Though most of them are rented but we bought 2 bundle

Which type of pump do you suggest we get and can we still use hose with that type of pump

If you already have the water in a tank, you can use a surface pump of like 1hp to get it to the location of the new borehole or get 2" hose and use a mud pump

Thanks for the reply is it a pvc pipe that we will use with the 1HP surface pump or we can use 3/4" hose
