A borehole site assessment is a professional hydrogeological survey conducted by a qualified geologist before any drilling begins. It identifies the best drill point on your land, predicts expected depth and yield, flags water quality risks, and delivers a written report — all before a single metre is drilled.

Why it matters: A hydrogeological study of 2,788 boreholes in Ghana's Ashanti Region found a 91% success rate when boreholes were correctly sited. Without a survey, success rates drop sharply — the same geological formation can yield water or nothing over a horizontal distance of just a few metres.

What Happens During a Site Assessment

  1. Desk study — CSIR-BRRI hydrogeological maps, satellite lineament analysis, local drilling records reviewed
  2. Site visit — geologist observes surface geology, drainage and vegetation indicators
  3. Best drill point marked — optimal location physically marked with GPS coordinates
  4. Water quality risk flagged — regional iron, fluoride, salinity, bacteria risks identified
  5. Written report delivered — within 48 hours, suitable for bank, donor or permit submission

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a site assessment the same as drilling?
No. An assessment is a pre-drilling survey — no drilling equipment is used.
How long does a site assessment take?
Site visit takes half a day. Written report delivered within 48 hours.
Can AquaProbe drill after the assessment?
Yes — full turnkey from survey to water-on-tap. See drilling service.
