Established in 2015, the Water Division at KS hydro power (u) Limited provides complete water development solutions across Uganda. Led by experienced hydrogeologists and civil engineers, the division delivers sustainable groundwater extraction, deep borehole construction, and piped water supply systems for agricultural estates, commercial properties, public institutions, and rural communities.
Core Capabilities
1. Hydrogeological Surveys & Aquifer Mapping
Before drilling begins, technical teams perform geophysical site assessments to analyze subsurface geology. Using vertical electrical sounding (VES) and resistivity profiling, hydrogeologists determine exact drilling locations, estimated water table depths, and prospective yields to maximize project success.
2. Borehole Drilling & Construction
Field crews deploy rotary drilling rigs to construct durable, high-yield water wells through
- Deep borehole drilling through complex overburden and hard rock formations.
- Installation of heavy-duty steel or uPVC well casings and screen pipes.
- Gravel packing, well formation sealing, and sanitary protection works.
- Hydro-fracturing and borehole rehabilitation for underperforming wells.
3. Test Pumping & Water Quality Analysis
Following construction, teams conduct 24-to-48-hour continuous test pumping to verify sustainable yield, recovery rates, and aquifer drawdown levels. Water samples undergo laboratory testing for physical, chemical, and microbiological purity to verify compliance with national drinking water standards.
4. Pumping Systems & Solar Water Infrastructure
Engineers design and install energy-efficient pumping systems tailored to site conditions and water demand.
