1. Hydrogeological and Geophysical Surveys in Cameroon

To accurately identify groundwater, its depth, quantity, and quality, several techniques and tests must be used to analyze an area’s hydrologic and geologic features. Geophysical surveying is used to determine the dimensions, position, and physical structure of beds, as well as their physical properties. A hydrogeological survey is done to gauge the underground water level. This kind of surveying is conducted before drilling a borehole to gain insight into the water’s quality and quantity. It is well documented that underground water is a superior source of drinking water than surface water. This is due to the following reasons:

1) Less chance of contamination, particularly if the area is at least 20 meters away from any sanitary works.

2) The water is purified as it flows through stones and sand.

3) Boreholes remain closed, thus lowering the possibility of contamination.

4) Groundwater has a stable temperature in spite of seasonal changes.

5) Greater probability of water availability in the summer as the sources are situated at a deeper level.

2. Borehole Drilling in Cameroon

The importance of water to life cannot be understated, and as our global population grows, having a reliable and sustainable water supply is essential. In this regard, drilling a water borehole offers a number of advantages that go beyond convenience. From securing access to water and saving costs to promoting self-sufficiency and environmental stewardship, the benefits of drilling a water borehole are far-reaching. By investing in a borehole, we can ensure a sustainable future and secure water as a fundamental human right. Therefore, the importance of drilling a water borehole is paramount.

The construction of a water borehole heavily relies on expertise and experience. Drilling of the correct diameter, which can range from 4 to 24 inches, with modern equipment requires experienced supervision and skill. Furthermore, it is possible to drill boreholes up to 400 m for domestic or industrial water supply by following relevant guidelines. It is also imperative that the equipment is compliant with the Health and Safety regulations for effective, environment-friendly drilling with minimal disturbance and disruption.

3. Borehole Rehabilitation in Cameroon

The process of rehabilitation is employed to revitalize a well or borehole which is not functioning correctly. This can include restoring the rate of flow, eliminating pollutants, deepening the well, restoring water levels due to dry periods, reconstructing damaged concrete, and repairing broken equipment. There are a variety of methods and tools which can be used for this purpose. Additionally, casting the inner wall with a suitable coating, upgrading the water pumping system, putting lids on the top, and keeping the well clean are important steps to take into consideration. This type of project is time-consuming and calls for expertise and experience. Picking the right technique for assessing the damage, their frequency, and so on is also essential.

4. Hand Pumps and Submersible Pumps Supply and Installations

In rural regions, hand pumps are a relatively low-cost option that offer access to a safe source of drinking water. They can access water from around 100 meters beneath the surface and form a seal to protect it from contamination. The cost of installation depends on the depth, which also influences the amount of effort needed for the process.

Submersible pumps are thin cylindrical pumps with a depth of 5 feet, which are placed at the bottom of the well to push the water up into a pressure tank through thin pipes. Nonetheless, the installation involves a complex process and must be handled by a professional team.

5. Borehole Pumping Test

To measure the drawdown of a water well, a pumping test is conducted in the field at a predetermined, controlled rate. This experiment is conducted to determine the performance of the well, the properties of the aquifer, and the boundaries that exist. It should be done periodically to identify any issues and take appropriate action to avoid destruction. This task requires skilled personnel to carry it out accurately and provide precise information for optimal efficiency and success.

6. Borehole Drilling Proper Casing in Place of Proper Casting

The process of Blast Hole Drilling, which involves the utilization of explosives in a managed way, is one of the most arduous and expensive aspects of any civil project. It necessitates the use of specific engineering tools and apparatus to bore holes in the hard rocks for various purposes. The diameter of the hole, the drilling pattern, and other factors are contingent upon the customer’s needs, yet the diameter usually ranges from 30 mm to 400 mm to be on the safe side. An experienced team of surveyors is a must to decide the type and grade of the rock to be blasted and mull over if it is prudent to proceed, as an improper decision can have serious ramifications for future projects. Therefore, proper safety precautions must be taken for the desired results.

7. Civil and Piped Water Supply Works

It is a crucial part of providing water to rural communities. Projects that involve components such as water treatment plants, electrical transmission lines, intake wells, pumping stations, pumping machinery, ground-level reservoirs, pipe materials, and civil works all need to be considered. Companies responsible for civil works typically have design departments that will conduct a detailed survey of water supply schemes and create a cost-effective and reliable design. There are several stages of these schemes which involve surveying the site, estimating costs, billing, producing and using the pipes, and other related civil works.

8. Construction of Over Head Tanks

The storage of water must be done safely and securely. To ensure this, it is necessary to have a team of engineers who have special knowledge in structural design for constructing overhead tanks. The structure of these tanks should be solid, using either concrete or steel. Furthermore, certain criteria must be taken into account such as the capacity, staging, liquid depth, height of staging, frame or shaft staging, liquid tower, and force actions. This will help to guarantee a desirable level of safety and durability.
