Hydrogeological Surveys in Kenya — Accurate Water Siting for Successful Borehole Drilling

Before drilling a borehole, the most critical step is to understand what lies beneath. At Globemuster Works Ltd, we provide professional hydrogeological surveys across Kenya to assess the availability, depth, and quality of groundwater. Whether you’re planning to drill in Nairobi, Kitui, Nakuru, Kajiado, or anywhere in between, our licensed geologists use advanced equipment and proven methods to ensure you make data-driven decisions. A proper survey prevents costly mistakes, reduces drilling risks, and significantly improves the success rate of your water project. Our surveys meet WRMA/NWRA licensing requirements, making them ideal for both private and commercial clients, NGOs, schools, farms, and real estate developers. Trust us to help you locate the best site, estimate the drilling depth, and avoid dry or low-yield boreholes.

How Our Hydrogeological Survey Process Works

At Globemuster Works Ltd, our hydrogeological survey process begins with a site visit to evaluate the terrain and access. We then perform geophysical investigations using techniques such as Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) to detect subsurface water-bearing formations. These readings are interpreted to determine the most promising location for drilling, as well as the recommended drilling depth and expected water yield. We also assess environmental and geological risks—such as saline water intrusion or fractured rock zones—that could affect borehole performance. After analysis, we compile a WRMA-compliant hydrogeological report, complete with maps, graphs, and expert conclusions. This report is essential for obtaining drilling permits and forms the blueprint for a successful borehole. Throughout the process, our team ensures the client understands each step and receives clear, actionable recommendations.

Desk Study & Historical Data Review – We start by analyzing existing geological maps, satellite imagery, and hydrological reports of the area to understand groundwater trends.

Field Investigation & Resistivity Testing – Using vertical electrical sounding (VES) and other geophysical tools, we determine the location, depth, and thickness of aquifers beneath the ground.

Comprehensive Report with Drilling Recommendations – After the site work, we provide a detailed hydrogeological report outlining the best drilling point, expected water yield, static water levels, and recommendations on borehole design.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a hydrogeological survey mandatory before drilling?
Yes. According to Kenyan water regulations, a hydrogeological survey is required by WRMA/NWRA before issuing a borehole drilling permit. It ensures safe, legal, and informed drilling practices.
Can you guarantee that I’ll find water?
While no one can guarantee 100% success, our use of geophysical testing significantly increases the chances of locating viable aquifers. Our surveys are based on science, not guesswork.
How long does the survey take?
A typical hydrogeological survey takes 1–3 days, depending on the size and accessibility of the site. The full report is usually delivered within 3–5 working days after fieldwork.
