Your Own Water Point
starts with a great borehole
You don't have to live near a river, lake or other surface water to execute a water project. Through well-constructed boreholes, you can access underground aquifers for reliable access to clean water for your project. Our groundwater systems are ideal for farms, schools, health facilities, and other institutions.
To get your water project done, we follow a simple 4-step process. Read more by clicking on each below.
Hydro-geological Surveys
Vertical Electric Sounding and Seismic Surveys provide a detailed profile of the layers below ground. Our affordable surveys increase your chances of finding water at the most affordable location on your land.
Don't leave it up to chance!

point surveys
Our affordable geophysics toolkit allows us to probe the underground up to 60m below ground level using resistivity. We also examine the spread of layers through a property using seismic surveys.
​
For $500, our team is at your disposal for a survey throughout to locate groundwater and the layers below visible ground.
Each survey includes:
​
1. 2-4 VES points
2. A detailed report studying hydrogeology, geology, recharge and discharge zones and groundwater potential in your area.
The final report is delivered no later than 3 workdays after the field visit.
3. A quotation for the proposed project.
Note: We understand that many seek our services when looking for groundwater. Thus we must be precise that a survey is not a guarantee of water.
The results of the survey will be either negative, positive or inconclusive.
​
We promise to do our best to provide information and diligently work to provide you with water. We hope you understand that we work within established natural boundaries and natural laws, and we are merely messengers.

Affordable Boreholes
Underground water aquifers offer an unlimited source of clean water that can be accessed through a borehole.
Water Access Rwanda drills and cases boreholes. We use a variety of methods to find water for you. We have built our expertise with all drilling techniques, both manual tools and machine tools. We also possess a full range of drilling equipment, helping us deliver good quality boreholes for our clients ranging from 40m to 150m+.
​
Once drilled Water in the borehole is tested both in quantity and quality, ensuring you are ready to use the borehole as desired. ​
Our Experience
201
boreholes, of which 72 were manually drilled.
2,993L
Average yield per hour of boreholes equipped with solar/electricity.
3 days
Normal duration of a machine borehole.
Our Manual Drilling Special Offer
Manual drilling tools take longer on projects, and they at times fail in certain formations. However, we are able to utilize them for hard-to-reach areas, or in cases where the client wishes an affordable borehole without timing concerns. The resulting borehole is as good in quality as a machine drilled-borehole. For shallower aquifers, manual drilling may actually be best.
12.1 days
Our current number of days spent on a drilling project. Note that this can go up to 30 days!
RWF 5Mn
One simple price for a manually-drilled borehole up to 50m. VAT Incl.
Plumbing
Once we know the water in your borehole, we size and install a submersible water pump and add the following:
-
Pipeline to deliver water to an elevated tank
-
Elevated tank
-
Solar or generator power for your pump
-
Cattle trough if needed.
​
We have installed to date more than 200 kilometres of plumbing and 60+ submersible pumps (mainly hybrid pumps accomodating both solar and generators).
we are proud to offer our borehole drilling services to farmers who live uphill or far from surface water. Through this program, farmers get a full system and 12 months to pay. Allowing them to experience easy access to water without the financial burden of a loan.
How it works
​​This program is offered by Water Access Rwanda to simplify farmers’ access to clean and reliable water on their farms.
​
Following a positive survey report we share:
-
The total cost of the full project as designed with the client.
-
The payment schedule (usually 25% upfront and 12 equal instalments after project handover).
-
Agreement to be executed between the farmer/business and Water Access Rwanda
