The Association of Water Well Drilling Rig Owners and Practitioners (AWDROP) says there is an imminent threat of underground water pollution due the activities of water well driller especially Asians. According to the association, each of these Asian companies drills about three boreholes a day and with about 50 such companies in the country according to the association, about 400 boreholes are drilled daily. Furthermore, their method of operation in the opinion of the association is substandard,thus giving room for pollution of the underground water by surface water.
The association believes that the activities of these drilling companies should be better regulated as most of the Asian drillers are not licensed.
