Projects
Narok Project
Located in one of Kenya’s dry regions, the Narok Borehole Drilling Project was initiated to provide a sustainable and reliable water source for the local community. With frequent water shortages affecting households, farms, and businesses, our team at River Best Kenya undertook a comprehensive drilling and installation process to tap into deep underground water reserves. This project included site assessment, borehole drilling, aquifer yield testing, and solar-powered pump installation, ensuring a long-term water solution for the people of Narok. Now, residents have access to clean and consistent water supply, improving livelihoods and supporting economic activities in the area.
Mweiga, Kieni Project
We successfully undertook a borehole drilling project in Mweiga, Kieni, to provide a sustainable water source for the land owner. The project aimed to address water scarcity and support domestic and agricultural activity within the farm. It involved a comprehensive site assessment and hydrogeological survey to determine the best drilling location, followed by high-powered drilling to reach the underground aquifer.
To ensure stability and prevent contamination, casing and gravel packing were installed, and water yield testing was conducted to evaluate the borehole’s capacity. The borehole is strategically positioned to serve nearby homes, farms, and institutions while adhering to strict environmental and safety standards.
The project utilized advanced technology for efficiency and precision, resulting in a significant water supply that enhances accessibility, boosts local agriculture, and reduces reliance on costly water alternatives. Additionally, there is potential for integrating solar-powered pumping to ensure sustainability and minimize energy costs. This project stands as a testament to River Best Kenya’s commitment to delivering reliable and long-term water solutions to communities in need.
Test Pumping in Nairutia, Kieni
Our team recently conducted a test pumping exercise in Nairutia, Kieni, to assess the yield and sustainability of a newly drilled borehole. This process was essential in determining the borehole’s capacity to provide a reliable water supply for the local farming community, which depends on irrigation and livestock rearing.
The test pumping involved a step-drawdown test and a constant rate test to evaluate the aquifer’s performance and ensure efficient water extraction. Water levels and discharge rates were carefully monitored to determine the optimal pumping capacity while preventing over-extraction.
The results confirmed a steady and sustainable water yield, making the borehole suitable for both agricultural and domestic use. This test was a crucial step in ensuring the long-term viability of the project, providing the necessary data for selecting the appropriate pump and water management strategies. By delivering precise and reliable test pumping services, River Best Kenya continues to support communities in water-scarce areas like Nairutia with sustainable and high-quality water solutions.
