Client: Private Landowner, Isiolo, Kenya
Project Type: Borehole Rehabilitation
Project Duration: 1 Week
Services Provided: Borehole Inspection, Pump Testing.
Client Background:
In the arid region of Isiolo, a private landowner faced a significant challenge. Their borehole, essential for daily water supply, wasn’t delivering water to a delivery site positioned atop a nearby hill. Despite the borehole’s depth and seemingly functional system, the water pressure was insufficient to reach the delivery point. This case required immediate attention and a thorough investigation.
Challenges Faced:
- Location: The delivery site was situated on a hill, requiring significant water pressure to pump water uphill.
- Existing Equipment: The existing borehole pump was not powerful enough to deliver the required water pressure.
- Investigation: A thorough investigation was needed to accurately diagnose the issue and recommend an effective solution.
Objectives
- Diagnose the cause of the inadequate water delivery.
- Conduct necessary tests to pinpoint the problem.
- Provide a viable solution to ensure efficient water pumping to the delivery site.
Steps Taken:
- Initial Assessment: Our experts began by lifting the borehole pipes to gain better access for inspection.
- Advanced Diagnostics: We utilized our state-of-the-art borehole camera to conduct a comprehensive investigation inside the borehole.
- Test Pumping: A test pumping was conducted to evaluate the performance of the borehole pump and to gather data on its efficiency.
Expert Recommendations:
Based on their findings, HydroConnect recommended upgrading to a more powerful pump that could meet the client's specific water transportation needs. They emphasized the importance of matching equipment capabilities to operational requirements during the initial borehole drilling process.
Key Takeaways:
- Proper Equipment Selection: Ensuring that the pump and pipes are suitable for the borehole’s specific conditions is crucial.
