Hydro-Geological Surveys

 

Hydro-geological surveys are the foundation of any successful water project. At Ledali Drilling Ltd., we combine advanced geological techniques with years of practical experience to evaluate groundwater potential, identify suitable borehole locations, and ensure long-term water availability. Our surveys minimize drilling risks and optimize resource utilization.

Why It Matters:

Understanding the underground water system before drilling is critical. A well-conducted hydro-geological survey ensures:

  • Accurate identification of groundwater reservoirs

  • Prediction of borehole yield and quality

  • Reduced risk of dry or underperforming boreholes

  • Cost-effective and sustainable water solutions

 

Our Approach

  • Desk Study and Data Review
    We begin by analyzing existing geological maps, hydrological data, and previous borehole records to understand the site’s water potential.

  • Field Investigation
    Our hydro-geologists conduct on-site surveys, including:

    • Geophysical measurements

    • Soil and rock sampling

    • Water table mapping

    • Geologic structure analysis

  • Borehole Siting Recommendations
    Using collected data, we recommend the most suitable drilling locations, considering water quantity, quality, and sustainability.

  • Reporting and Documentation
    Clients receive detailed reports including survey methodology, findings, maps, and actionable recommendations.

Key Benefits

  • Reduced Drilling Costs: Focus drilling only where water is most likely to be abundant.

  • Reliable Water Supply: Ensures boreholes are productive and sustainable.

  • Environmental Compliance: Supports responsible water use and adherence to regulations.

  • Data-Driven Decisions: Provides the foundation for all subsequent water infrastructure projects.

Ideal For

  • Residential developments seeking reliable water sources

  • Farms and irrigation projects

  • Institutions, industries, and municipalities planning water systems

  • Environmental assessments for sustainable development projects

Our engineers begin every project with a detailed site assessment and consultation to determine the most suitable solution — whether it’s a borehole, water pan, dam, or supply system — based on your location, water demand, and budget.
Project duration depends on the scope, site conditions, and approvals. Smaller projects like boreholes may take a few days, while larger ones such as dams or water systems may span several weeks. We always provide clear timelines before starting.
