In the heart of South Africa's Gauteng region, a water crisis looms, emphasizing the critical need for solutions like borehole drilling. My professional journey as a geohydrologist has been focused on groundwater assessments to identify potential groundwater sources that can be targeted for borehole drilling, especially in residential and commercial properties in the Gauteng region.
In major urban centres like Johannesburg, Pretoria, and Ekurhuleni, we are witnessing a critical water crisis. A key contributor to this situation is the lack of proper maintenance of water infrastructure, which has led to water restrictions. This crisis is further exacerbated by a combination of high demand and insufficient reservoir levels, all of which are under increased pressure due to rising temperatures. These factors collectively strain our already limited water resources, highlighting the urgent need for effective water management solutions.

Staying Informed and Taking Action
In these challenging times, staying informed and proactive is vital. I encourage residents and businesses in affected areas to stay updated with the latest developments and consider the benefits of professional borehole surveys.
Avoid Costly Borehole Drilling Scams
A word of caution, be aware of companies claiming to have highly scientific equipment that can find underground water and that they have an almost perfect success rate, these are false claims and will have an end result that will be very costly to you. These companies or individuals have no knowledge of groundwater and solely rely on the results of cheap imported "water detector" instruments. Borehole drilling prices are soaring, so make sure that you consult with a professional and qualified geohydrologist to conduct a proper assessment of your property before you consider drilling a borehole.
