The saying goes, “Water is life,” but the growing water scarcity has affected millions of people in this world. Many studies estimate that 2/3rd of the world population is facing water scarcity. The challenging increase in world population, industrial pollution that devastated the entire ecosystem, global warming & unethical distribution of natural resources among various classes of humans contribute to water scarcity. But with little effort, we can solve this problem. Humans have a natural tendency to find solutions to problems & make ways to live on Earth.
Before the common era, boreholes were used as a method to meet the need for water. Ancient Chinese, Greek, Romans & Indians have been using boreholes. A borehole is a narrow vertical (sometimes horizontal) hole into the ground to extract water. Borehole water is rainwater that goes deep into the ground and gets trapped between the rock layers.
Millions of people around the world use borehole water.
Water from private boreholes is an effective resource and contributes extensively to meeting water needs. Borehole water is considered suitable for drinking (in most areas depending upon local conditions), irrigations, washing & cleaning purposes, showering & stock keeping. Let alone the borehole drilling prices are make sense to have as an investment for your property.
Why having a borehole at home is a better option?
We’ve always been able to benefit from mother nature’s kindness. All we need is to find ways to get close to her. Boreholes have numerous benefits, some of which I have listed below.
Uninterrupted Water Supply
A borehole is a one-time investment & almost a lifetime benefit. Engineers estimate that a borehole constructed after proper & calculated effort can provide you uninterrupted water supply for decades. It needs timely maintenance & minimal running costs, but it is an investment worth considering.
Boreholes are assets
The ecosystem is devastating. Water scarcity is common. Let us take the example of the Western Cape, where drought has affected life. A borehole is a must-have option for the house.
Boreholes increase the value of your property. During the absence of or less municipal water supply, a personal borehole allows you to clean & maintain your garden. It also gives you a lot of relief when it comes to the water supply.
A perfect option for Personal & Commercial use
People use borehole water for cooking, drinking, irrigation, maintaining gardens, washing, cleaning & watering livestock. Apart from personal use, borewell water can also be used in car washing service houses, laundry, construction, agriculture & for many other commercial uses.
Less burden on municipal supply
As the population is increasing, every region is facing a scarcity of resources. Having a personal borehole at your property empowers you & divides the burden on municipal supply. By sharing the municipal load, you contribute to the progress of your region & local emergency state operations like firefighters & mass construction projects can get a kick start without worrying about the resources.
Conclusion
Water boreholes are a long-term investment that will set you free of the worries of water tariffs, scarcity of water from your municipal supply & you can continue your daily chores without keeping the timings of water supply. It is a continuous supply of natural water.
