In India, access to a reliable water source is essential for homes, agriculture, and industries. Drilling a borewell is a popular and effective solution to meet this need, but it’s not just about digging a hole in the ground. It requires planning, technical precision, the right equipment, and expertise.
At Vishal Borewell Drilling Services, based in Vadodara, we’ve been drilling borewells for over two decades. In this blog, we walk you through the step-by-step borewell drilling process, from site selection to final installation.
📍 Step 1: Site Selection
The first and most crucial step is identifying the right spot to drill the borewell.
✅ Methods Used:
Hydrogeological survey to locate groundwater reserves
Traditional knowledge or dowsing (in rural areas)
Scientific tools like electrical resistivity surveys
At Vishal Borewell, we provide groundwater survey and consultation services to help you choose the most promising site, reducing the chances of a dry borewell.
⚙️ Step 2: Choosing the Right Drilling Method
The next step is selecting a suitable drilling method based on soil type, location, and depth.
🔧 Common Techniques:
Rotary Drilling – for soft to medium formations (clay, sand)
Percussion Drilling – for hard rocks and deep formations
DTH (Down The Hole) – effective for boulder zones and hard rock areas
We use state-of-the-art drilling rigs capable of handling varied geological conditions in Gujarat and across India.
🧱 Step 3: Drilling the Borewell
Once the site and method are finalized, the drilling begins. It involves:
Mobilizing the drilling rig to the site
Continuous boring through the soil and rock layers
Logging the depth and geological strata during drilling
We provide real-time monitoring and a detailed geological log report to clients for transparency.
🧪 Step 4: Borewell Development
After reaching the desired depth:
We flush the borewell using pressurized air to clean debris
This step develops the bore and improves water inflow
This is critical to ensure that fine sediments don’t block water flow, and the borewell yields maximum output.
🧵 Step 5: Casing and Pipe Installation
We install a PVC or MS casing pipe to prevent borewell wall collapse and to protect from contamination. Depending on the water zone:
Casing is provided in upper loose strata
Slotted PVC pipes are used in aquifer zones to allow water inflow
Vishal Borewell recommends high-quality PVC pipes for longevity and corrosion resistance.
💧 Step 6: Submersible Pump Installation
Once the borewell is developed and cleaned:
A submersible pump or borewell motor is installed at a depth matching the water table
HDPE or UPVC column pipes are used to lift water efficiently
We help you select the right borewell motor based on yield, depth, and usage.
📄 Step 7: Water Testing and Compliance
Before using the water, it’s advisable to:
Test borewell water quality for domestic or drinking purposes
Ensure CGWA NOC compliance (if applicable for industrial/commercial users)
We assist in:
Water testing
CGWA NOC application
Installation of piezometers & DWLR
🛠️ Step 8: Borewell Maintenance Tips
Regular maintenance is the key to a long-lasting borewell:
Periodic flushing to remove silts and algae
Motor servicing every 1–2 years
Water testing at regular intervals
Our team also provides borewell cleaning and rejuvenation services on demand.
🔎 FAQs – Common Questions About Borewell Drilling
❓ How much does borewell drilling cost in Vadodara?
Cost depends on depth, soil type, casing, and pump type. We provide transparent quotations based on survey reports.
❓ How deep should a borewell be?
It varies by region. In Vadodara, average depths range between 100 ft to 600 ft, depending on geology.
❓ What permission is required?
If the water use is for commercial/industrial purposes, a CGWA NOC is mandatory. We help you secure it.
