Those ones are hand dug shallow wells. They are cheap and not used for any commercial purposes

@EW, where is the land located. If the water table there is high, you can do a well.

@majimaji the land is at kamangu. If i do a shallow well, i can still do smallscale farmin au.

@githae... i would also consider an underground tank. since I am farming and later going to build and move there.

Is it legal for plot owners within 50m of each other to both drill boreholes at the same time? Ama this is Kenya - moolah has been poured? Seems like everyone is now drilling their own borehole everywhere and charging an arm and a leg to supply neighbours. I am thinking of installing an infinity pool so I might as well drill my own as well ama?

@MugundaMan it should be 80-100m...50 m is pushing it.chances of one drying up is highly likely if too close.Infact many that were drilled in our dustbowl county many years ago have dried up because of the depth and distance between two boreholes.Kiserian dam that was supposed to supply water to many of the areas seems not to be doing much and many residents are skeptical of the water because of all the waste+chemicals that flow into that dam.
