ShoeGetSize:Honestly I can't remember the depth of any of the boreholes. Even though I did ask and was told for each of them I had just trusted the driller and never paid much attention to the depth. All 3 boreholes (the one my parents did and the two I did) were all drilled by the same person. However, I belief the correct depth is location based as per the elevation/water table of the site and this is also a major factor of consideration for the cost. For instance I do remember that the last borehole was not nearly as deep as the 1st two and I was concerned but the drillers assured me that it was okay because of the location. And the water has been okay in all 3 of them. I once did a water analysis for the borehole my parents did when I had hoped to use it for fish (breeding which I didn't) and the analysis result was excellent for fish breeding unlike another farmer who did the test of his water along with me. His water had so much microbes (I think mine had none), and high level of ammonia (mine had negligible). He actually did the test because his fingerlings were dying. So this explains why. |

femi4:I think there's something you don't understand. The cost of drilling is affected by several factors. 1. Location: The elevation and water table of the area. Also the presence of rocks. 2. Type of equipment used: Motorized or manual. Motorized is much more expensive of course. And in some locations its the only option. Someone once told me of a south eastern state (I think Enugu) that only rich people can have boreholes because of the terrain. You can't successfully drill with the manual method. There's massive rocks that need to be broken to get to water and the cost of drilling at the time was about 5m. 3. Materials used: A borehole with 5 inches pipe casing will be more expensive than one with 4 inches casing. The quality of the riser pipes too also affects the cost. .8Hp, 1hp & 1.5Hp pumps don't cost the same. My last borehole cost 250k (2019) while the one b4 it (I think 2013 or so) had cost same 250k. How come? Last one was 4in casing with 1Hp pump and lower depth unlike the 2013 own with 5in casing, 1.5Hp pump and higher depth. In 2013 four inches borehole was 150k and in 2019 five inches borehole was 400k. All manual and different locations/depth. Meanwhile in that same 2019 someone told me that hers was done with machine for 700k (some years earlier) in the same location that I did for 250k in 2019. |

I read almost 98% of all comments on this threads, if you are not a professional don't say it not possible.. the economy is so bad that everything has skyrocketed. The cost of borehole drilling early last year is far far higher than the cost now... We are professional, we drill every day and we understand the process and price movement of materials.. Anyway if you want us to help out on your site by making water borehole the source of water. Contact us today Check our signature below |
