Siting Boreholes requires a good understanding of where groundwater occurs in Zimbabwe and how it behaves in the local environment.
Developing this understanding starts with reconnaissance, and is refined by hydrogeological fieldwork and geophysical surveying. This involves making field observations of the local geology, hydrogeology and existing water sources, and gathering information from sources such as discussions with the local community.

| Borehole Siting in Zimbabwe with AquAmanzi Borehole Drilling |
Local dry and wet season water sources should be visited, and discussions held with the community to find out more details: e.g. how much they yield; do yields fall or dry up in the dry season; are there water quality problems?
Rock exposures (e.g. in river cuttings or cliffs) can give more information on local geology, as can chippings/cuttings from any local hand-dug wells or previously drilled boreholes (failed or working).
It is also important to observe any local sources of pollution, such as pit latrines, burial grounds, cattle pens or market areas.
