I am looking for pointers from anyone who has any experience in contracting and engaging firms for a Hydro Geological Survey. I have a client who's interested in drilling a borehole in Isinya and I understand a Hydro Geological Survey is the starting point. The key considerations are : - ~ Professionalism. ~ Cost. ~ Speed of execution and ensuring all paperwork is in place. ~ Above board I look forward to your valuable input.

@David, had a friend who wanted a borehole done. Though my info maybe outdated, I think a good place to start is Davis and Shirtliff, they work with Geo people. Also, I also think Nema has its own proces but good firms know the entire process and can guide. HTHs. Rgds.
Just to add something interesting my grand father told me on this subject: If you take the branch of an Orange tree it somehow bends when it's some meters (I think even 10 meters) above a mass of water flowing underground. One can even judge the depth of the water. I also saw an article in the newspaper a few months ago about an old man using wires to locate points to drill water. I believe it was the Nation newspaper. Perharps if you contact Nation they can put you in touch with that guy, alternatively my grand paps is available 8~) --- On Wed, 9/30/09, David Kiania | Asentric Consulting Ltd <kianiadee@gmail.com> wrote: From: David Kiania | Asentric Consulting Ltd <kianiadee@gmail.com> Subject: [Skunkworks] Hydro Geological Services To: "Skunkworks forum" <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> Date: Wednesday, September 30, 2009, 6:08 PM I am looking for pointers from anyone who has any experience in contracting and engaging firms for a Hydro Geological Survey.
