Before hiring a borehole driller, insist on a hydrogeological survey, verify licensing, check equipment quality, and confirm the warranty for both the drilling and the pump system.

Deep wells offer reliable, high-quality, drought-resistant water but are expensive. Shallow wells are low-cost but highly vulnerable to contamination and seasonal drying.

Borehole costs in Wakiso are divided into three components: drilling (per meter), casing materials (well integrity), and the submersible pumping system. Always request an itemized quote.

Borehole water must be tested for bacteria and heavy metals after installation. Treatment may involve chlorination for contamination or specialized filtration for high mineral content.

Sustainable water management involves rainwater harvesting, greywater recycling for non-potable use, and using drip irrigation on farms to maximize efficiency and secure long-term supply.

Install a rainwater harvesting system using a clean roof catchment, quality gutters, a mandatory first-flush device, and screened storage tanks. Regular cleaning is the key maintenance requirement.

Manage your construction project by paying contractors by verified milestones, centralizing material procurement to prevent theft, and securing all necessary building permits before starting construction.

Concrete strength depends on clean, angular aggregates (crushed stone) and clean sand, free of clay and silt. Conduct a simple jar test on sand to verify quality before purchasing materials.
