Have you ever wondered if you can find water under the ground, even in rocky places?
It may seem strange, but the answer is often “Yes!”
Let’s explore how water can be found in rocky areas and why it’s a good idea to do some research before drilling.
Plus, we’ll share a story about how Bonvic Drilling helped one family find water on their rocky farm.

How Does Water Hide Underground in Rocky Places?
Imagine rocks with tiny cracks and spaces—like sponges with small holes that can hold water.
In rocky areas, water often flows into these cracks and stays there, hidden from view.
Certain types of rocks, like limestone or sandstone, have more spaces that can hold water, making it easier to find a water source even when the surface appears super dry.
What Makes It Easier or Harder to Find Water?
Finding water in rocky areas depends on a few things, like:
- The type of rock – Some rocks are better at holding water than others.
- The depth – Sometimes, you must drill deep to reach the water.
- Cracks and faults – Water likes to travel through cracks in rocks, so finding these can be a good sign.
Knowing these details helps us figure out where to start drilling!
How Does Bonvic Drilling Find Water in Rocky Areas?
At Bonvic Drilling, we use special surveys called hydrogeological surveys. These surveys are like treasure maps that help us locate the best spots for water.
We use tools that can look under the ground, helping us find cracks and spaces in the rocks where water might be hiding. It’s a lot like finding buried treasure—but instead of gold, we find water!

A Success Story: The Kimani Family’s Rocky Farm
Here’s a story about one of our drilling adventures. The Kimani family has a farm in a rocky area (Kajiado County), and they were worried they wouldn’t find enough water for their crops.
They called Bonvic Drilling to see if we could help. After a hydrogeological survey, we found many cracks in the rocks underneath their land.
With this information, we started drilling in the best spot we found.
At first, it was tough, with lots of rock to get through. But after drilling down deep enough, we struck water!
The Kimani family now has its own water supply, and it uses it to keep its crops healthy, even in dry seasons.
Why Drilling in Rocky Areas Can Be a Great Idea
You might be surprised, but water from rocky areas can actually be very clean.
That’s because the water filters through the rock, removing many impurities.
So, not only can you find water, but it can also be high-quality water that’s safe to use.
