In many developing countries, the inadequate supply
of drinking and irrigation water is a severe problem. In rural areas with no
access to grid power, national water authorities and private farmers have to
rely on hand pumps and diesel-powered pumps. Hand-operated pumps are the
least-cost option for low consumption rates and low pumping heads. If hand pumps
cannot satisfy the demand, diesel generators are used to power the pumps for
Boreholes commonly used for drinking and irrigation water supply. These pumps
also stand in competition with photovoltaic water pumps, which present
themselves as a reliable and environment friendly.
TECH AFRIC Ltd has been involved in drilling
many boreholes in Nigeria. These include upper as well as middle aquifer
boreholes. We have experience of drilling boreholes on sedimentary and basement
formations.
