AquaScan Pro — Borehole & Groundwater Survey Intelligence for Kenya and East Africa

AquaScan Pro is a desktop groundwater and hydroecological screening platform for anyone planning a borehole in Kenya or the wider region. It fuses satellite remote sensing, verified water-point registries (WPDx, OSM, UNESCO IHP-WINS), county drilling statistics and hydrogeological physics into one audited pre-feasibility report — with maps of existing boreholes, springs, soil, vegetation and water-table conditions around your exact site.

What it does

• Desktop pre-feasibility report with success probability, provisional investigation depth and planning yield — every figure range-bounded and audit-gated
• Registry map and 50 km roll of existing successful boreholes and springs, with names, depths and distances
• Recharge and water-balance modelling, water-quality screening (WHO GDWQ) and drilling cost estimates at July 2026 Kenya market rates
• Field Validation Attachment Pack and Drilling Instruction Package that carry the project from desktop to a drill-ready, WRA-compliant submission

Coverage

Used for borehole planning across all 47 Kenyan counties — from Vihiga springs country to Turkana basement — and adaptable region-wide. It complements (never replaces) the statutory hydrogeological survey and licensed professional sign-off.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a borehole survey cost in Kenya?

A statutory hydrogeological survey with targeted ERT typically costs KSh 40,000–110,000 depending on site access and reporting scope. AquaScan Pro produces the desktop pre-feasibility stage first, so you spend that survey money on a site that already screens well.

Can AquaScan Pro tell me exactly where and how deep to drill?

No desktop tool can — and any that claims to should worry you. AquaScan Pro gives a provisional investigation depth and target evidence, then requires field ERT/VES, a licensed hydrogeologist and WRA authorisation before any drilling instruction is issued.

What data does the report use?

NASA/ESA satellite products, ISRIC SoilGrids, SRTM terrain, verified water-point registries, and compiled county drilling records — every value carries its source and estimates are marked "(est.)". The full methodology is public at /aquascan-pro-v3/methodology.
