Test-Pumping Works in Kenya – Accurate Borehole Yield Testing for Smart Water Development
Before installing a borehole pump or developing a large-scale water supply system, it is crucial to understand the borehole’s capacity and performance through professional test-pumping. At Globemuster Works Ltd, we provide reliable and accurate test-pumping services across Kenya to determine the safe yield, recovery rate, and long-term sustainability of a borehole. Whether for domestic, agricultural, industrial, or institutional use, our test-pumping works are essential for making informed decisions about pump sizing, water allocation, and storage system design. We follow industry-recommended practices and use high-capacity test pumps, flow meters, and data loggers to generate precise results you can trust. With a commitment to quality and compliance, our team helps clients minimize investment risks and optimize water resource management—especially in Kenya’s diverse and sensitive groundwater zones.
How Our Borehole Test-Pumping Process Works
The test-pumping process begins after the borehole is drilled and developed. Our team mobilizes to your site with specialized test pumps, flow measuring tools, and level monitoring equipment. We conduct a step-drawdown test, which gradually increases the pumping rate to assess how the borehole responds under different conditions. Next, we perform a constant discharge test, where water is pumped at a steady rate over 12–48 hours (or longer) to monitor the aquifer’s behavior under sustained extraction. Throughout the process, we measure the drawdown (drop in water level), pumping rate, and recovery once pumping stops. This data is used to determine the borehole’s sustainable yield—the maximum rate it can deliver water without overexploitation. All data is compiled into a technical report used to guide pump selection and water use planning. We ensure that our test-pumping follows WRMA/NWRA guidelines and supports licensing applications where required.
✅ Step-Drawdown & Constant Discharge Tests – We perform multiple test phases to assess aquifer response, drawdown behavior, and optimal discharge rates.
✅ Data Monitoring & Analysis – We collect detailed information on water levels, flow rates, and recovery over time, analyzed by experienced hydrogeologists.
✅ Comprehensive Reporting – You receive a full report outlining borehole yield, recommended pump capacity, and insights for sustainable water use.
