Low rain and drought conditions have left South Africa with eight of its provinces out of the nine provinces declared disaster areas.
Furthermore, the cost of water in South Africa has continued to rise over time, mainly due to inflation and a shortage of water supplies. The problem has been further exacerbated by recent low rainfall in South Africa.
In Gauteng, Johannesburg Water partnered with the Borehole Water Association to encourage residents to use well water to alleviate the ongoing drought and ease pressure on the demand for surface water. Groundwater resources have always played a key role in meeting the water demands of traditionally water-scarce regions around the world, hence, groundwater can be a very attractive investment rather than just an expense.
The cost analysis is evident that the use of borehole water for either domestic, industrial or irrigational supply is a cost-efficient and viable alternative to municipal water. A well-maintained borehole is also a cost-effective, self-sufficient asset.

Although initial costs of drilling and equipping may be high, there are long-term financial benefits to groundwater, particularly the fact that borehole water costs significantly less than municipal water.
