Geology and Hydrogeology
The geology of Zambia, comprises various rock formations consisting of igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks from Precambrian to recent times. In Zambia, aquifers can be broadly categorised into three groups:
- Aquifers where Groundwater flow is mainly in fissures, channels and discontinuities, which are subdivided into highly productive and locally productive aquifers;
- Aquifers where intergranular groundwater flow is dominant
- Low yielding aquifers with limited potential:
The price of a completed borehole in Zambia tends to be in the range of $4,000 to $5,000 although it can be double this for some donor-aided projects.
