If your borehole has stopped producing water, the pump has failed, or water quality has changed — you need a correct diagnosis before spending money. Most borehole problems in Ghana are repairable at a fraction of redrilling cost. Do not abandon a borehole without a proper assessment; the aquifer is almost always fine, the problem is usually the pump, silting, or a casing fault.
