A submersible borehole pump is a type of pump that is submerged in a borehole to pump water to the surface. The drawdown, recovery rate, and pump rate of a submersible borehole pump are important concepts that relate to its efficiency in pumping water. The drawdown of a pump refers to the amount of water […]
MCB, MCCB, ELCB, RCCB, RCBO, RCD, and MPCB are all types of circuit breakers, but they differ in their construction, functionality, and application. Here is a brief overview of each: MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker): MCB is a type of circuit breaker that is commonly used in homes, offices, and commercial buildings. It is designed to […]
Borehole drilling is the process of drilling a hole in the ground to extract water, oil, gas, or other substances. It is an essential process in several industries, including mining, geothermal energy, and groundwater exploration. In recent years, there have been several advancements in borehole drilling technology, including the use of advanced drilling techniques and […]
Water is one of the most precious resources we have on Earth. All the biochemical processes in plants and animals, our surroundings, etc. require water to function. It is required for life on Earth as it is an essential component of all biological processes. We cannot imagine our lives without the presence of water. Fresh […]
Borehole yield is the volume of water that can be abstracted from a borehole. Description. This is the maximum rate of abstraction from the borehole and can be expressed as l/s, m3/hr, m3/d or m3/a. The Dos and Don’ts of Testing Borehole Yields Many boreholes get over-pumped, leading to pump failure/burnout, borehole clogging, impacts […]
Alex Frimpong Karikari, Chief Executive Officer of Kari Borehole, said the preference for cheap water drilling operators by a section of the public had resulted in the continuous existence of unlicensed drilling companies.
By definition, “A tip is a sum presented by a customer as a gift or gratuity in recognition of some service performed for the customer. It is distinguished from payment of a charge, if any, made for the service.” In other words, at least, drilling service charges do not count as tips because it’s a […]
In general, there are two main causes of lost circulation in drilling operations problems which are as follows: Invasion or mud loss to formations such as cavernous, vugular, fractured formations or unconsolidated formations. Fracturing which is mud loss due to hydraulic fracturing operations from excessive induced pressures. A) Invasion In many cases, lost circulation cannot […]

Learn about non-return valves, which ensure flow in one direction. Different types include lift, swing, folding disc, tilting disc, stop, and vertical check valves. Discover their uses in heating, cooling, and water systems.
You’ve already issued a quotation to drill a borehole which the client accepted, so now it’s time for you to present the client with a contract. Having a contract is important for your business because it sets up the relationship between you and your client. It is a legal document that demonstrates each party’s responsibilities, […]
Rehabilitation is the action taken to repair a borehole whose productivity has declined or that has failed through lack of monitoring and maintenance of the pump and/or well structure. This is often a financial problem, or a logistical one – a function of remote location and, possibly, of conflict preventing easy access. Surface pumps, such […]
The life expectancy of a production borehole depends on proper design, construction, and maintenance. Factors like water level drawdown, mechanical failure, incrustation, and corrosion can lead to deterioration or failure. Regular attention and well maintenance can extend the lifespan of a borehole.
Learn about borehole monitoring and deterioration. Discover the importance of regular maintenance, water sampling, and monitoring tests. Find out the causes and remedies for various symptoms. Ensure the longevity of your borehole with proper care.
When the Water Pump is Badly Sealed The most commonly identifiable cause for failing pumps is faulty seals. A water pump can show inefficiency because of: Inappropriate sealing Damaged seals Misaligned gasket Also, the mounting surface of the pump may experience leakage on account of improper installation. More often than not, the installer uses the […]
