Background:

In much of East Africa a semi-arid climate prevails. As a consequence available water resources are scarce. However, the most basic need to be met for the fast-growing rural and urban population is drinking water. Until recently, solutions to meet this demand were mainly sought by constructing large surface water schemes with pipelines and reticulation schemes. It is now gradually realized that such schemes require very high investments and can at best only meet the water demand of urban populations and very limited numbers of the rural population. At the same time many of the large schemes fall into disrepair, or suffer severe losses of storage capacity due to erosion and siltation of reservoirs. Groundwater has finally become acknowledged as a safe, clean and reliable source of water that can be tapped, if done on the basis of proper hydrogeological knowledge, without becoming depleted. The use of groundwater for water supplies is steadily growing in particular for rural and small urban water supplies.

Who we are?

In order for groundwater to be a dependable resource, proper investigations need to be undertaken to assess both quantity and quality. In order to meet the demand for specialist hydrogeological knowledge, Geo Drilling Solutions (U) Ltd. was established in 2012 as a Ugandan company to meet the increasing need for expertise and advice in the field of groundwater development. The professionals employed have the expertise and experience to carry out all aspects of groundwater and surface studies. The company is well equipped with modern investigation equipment, required to carry out groundwater investigations Drilling machinery.

The company is composed of Ugandans who have extensive local experience in the water sector as well as exposure in some investigation techniques from Europe during training. Our aim is to offer a comprehensive range of services in Hydrogeological work and GIS, borehole drilling, test pumping, and installation of roaters.
