Yield
Yield is how much water a borehole can sustainably produce, measured in cubic metres per hour. It is established during test pumping and written on the certificate.
Why it matters
Depth decides what you pay. Yield decides what you get, and it is the number most buyers never ask for. It sets the size of pump you can fit, and a pump sized above the sustainable yield will run the hole dry and fail. If a driller cannot tell you the tested yield, the borehole is not finished.
Why Proboreholedrillers
One team from the survey to the first glass of water
A borehole is five jobs bundled into one: the survey that finds the water, the permits that make it legal, the drilling, the test that proves the yield, and the pump. We run all five for you, with licensed rigs and a quote broken down line by line, so you know exactly what you are paying for before anyone starts.
