Project Overview
Rural Water Survey & Groundwater Assessment
Client Challenge
A semi-arid community struggled with seasonal water shortages. Previous attempts to drill boreholes failed due to lack of scientific assessment, leaving residents with unreliable water supply.
AKO Solution
AKO conducted a hydrogeological survey and groundwater assessment to identify the most viable drilling locations. Recommendations included borehole depth, aquifer mapping, and expected yields.
Engineering Considerations
Aquifer characteristics, groundwater flow, and seasonal variation were analyzed. Borehole design considered sustainable extraction, local geology, and contamination risks.
