A borehole brings relief to drought-stricken communities, sustains ecosystems, nourishes the agricultural sector and gives private residences, commerce as well as industries a means to access water in times of erratic or no municipal supply. As the demand for water increases due to global population growth, among others, innovative solutions are essential for a sustainable future. At Aqua Boreholes, we believe that everyone should have access to clean water. We specialise in full turnkey services. From drilling to drinking, we’ve got you covered.
Boreholes Offer Access to a Critical Lifeline
Drilling into the depths of the ground in search of the earth’s most precious resource is a technique that dates back over eight centuries. Boreholes as a reliable, plentiful supply of water were introduced by ancient Egypt using tools with copper “drill bits” to drill a water well. Where crude buckets were used to bring water up from the modified aquifer, technology has developed in leaps and bounds enabling companies like Aqua Boreholes to bring this finite resource from the ground to your taps.
Tap into Water Freedom
Let the experts at Aqua Boreholes take you through the main benefits of a borehole installation and delve into how this long-term alternative water source sustains more than just households and businesses.
- Water security:
Drilling a borehole offers you what you need the most, water security. It frees you from ageing infrastructure, contamination scares, water restrictions and drought. This independence brings you peace of mind knowing that in times of crisis, your taps will keep on flowing meeting your essential requirements. When you invest in such a water supply, you navigate water challenges with resilience, ensuring that you have a reliable supply when you most need it. - Improved water health:
The municipal water supply that you rely on is doused with chlorine to make it safe for human consumption. This unfortunately comes with the downside of removing naturally occurring nutrients and minerals normally found in underground water sources. Underground water sources are not subject to the same pollutants and contaminants of surface water making it the healthier choice. In addition to improved water health, you are doing your part for the preservation of dams, rivers and streams when you tap into an aquifer. - Cost savings:
At the start of the process, it may seem that drilling for a borehole is a costly investment. However, when you consider the advantage of water security and a significant reduction in your monthly water account as an added benefit, it is a wise and prudent decision to make. With a borehole, you have control over water usage. If you are in doubt, it is important to bear in mind that the capital investment will be offset by long-term financial benefits.
Looking at the Bigger Picture
At Aqua Boreholes, we look towards the future and urge you to use your water supply conservatively. Tapping into an aquifer doesn’t equate to an infinite water source. Every time you use your borehole water, think of the farmers who rely on it to sustain crops and feed livestock. Think about communities that suffer water scarcity and how such a water source can change their lives. At the end of the day, water security goes hand-in-hand with food security, so it is still important to protect our most valuable resource.
Sustainable Drilling Practices
Choosing Aqua Boreholes as your installation specialist means that you are aligning your long-term interests with a company that is passionate about environmental sustainability. We study geological maps and conduct hydrogeological surveys as well as yield tests to make sure that the total abstraction from your water source will always be less than the natural groundwater recharge. These practices ensure that aquifers remain replenished, and your water supply doesn’t run dry.
When it comes to water security, you can rely on our team of qualified electricians, plumbers, filtration experts and master drillers to design your borehole system according to your unique specifications. Contact us and together we will secure your access to water for future generations.
