Why Test Water From a Bore?

Groundwater can vary significantly from one location to another. Clear-looking water is not necessarily an indication of its complete quality, and water characteristics can also change over time.

Testing provides information about selected physical, chemical and, where required, microbiological characteristics of the water.

For drinking or other sensitive applications, testing should be carried out through an appropriate laboratory and interpreted according to the intended use and applicable water-quality requirements.

Water Sources We Can Help Assess

Water Bore Testing

Testing of water obtained from an existing groundwater bore.

Borewell Water Testing

Water quality assessment for suitable borewell water sources.

Tube Well Water Testing

Testing requirements for water supplied through an existing tube well.

Groundwater Testing

Assessment of groundwater characteristics according to the intended application.

Residential Water Testing

Water testing for homes using groundwater as a source.

Commercial Water Testing

Water quality testing requirements for suitable commercial properties.

Parameters That May Be Tested

The appropriate testing panel depends on the intended water use and the requirements of the selected laboratory or applicable standard. Depending on the situation, testing may include parameters such as:

  • pH
  • Total dissolved solids (TDS)
  • Electrical conductivity
  • Turbidity
  • Total hardness
  • Chloride
  • Sulphate
  • Nitrate
  • Iron
  • Other selected chemical parameters
  • Microbiological parameters where required
Important: Not every water source requires the same laboratory test panel. Testing should be selected according to the intended use of the water.

Our Bore Water Testing Process

1. Identify the Water Source

The source is identified as a bore, borewell, tube well or other groundwater source.

2. Determine Intended Use

The intended use of the water is considered because residential, drinking, commercial and agricultural applications can require different testing requirements.

3. Select Appropriate Testing

The relevant testing requirements are determined according to the intended application.

4. Sample Collection

A suitable water sample should be collected using appropriate sampling procedures for the selected analysis.

5. Laboratory Testing

Where laboratory analysis is required, the sample is submitted for the relevant water-quality testing.

6. Review of Results

The laboratory results can then be reviewed against the requirements relevant to the intended water use.

Bore Water Testing in Islamabad & Rawalpindi

Groundwater characteristics can vary across different parts of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. A water source should therefore be assessed on its own results rather than assuming that groundwater quality is the same throughout the region.

If groundwater is intended for drinking or food-related use, appropriate laboratory testing is particularly important before relying on the source.

Water testing can also be useful when a property owner notices a change in taste, smell, colour or other characteristics of bore water.

When Should Bore Water Be Tested?

  • Before using a new groundwater source for drinking
  • After major changes to an existing bore system
  • When water taste or smell changes
  • When water colour or appearance changes
  • When sediment or unusual material is observed
  • After a significant bore or pumping-system problem
  • When a property changes its groundwater use
  • Periodically where groundwater is used as an important water source

Water Quality Testing Cost

Water testing cost depends primarily on the number and type of parameters included in the laboratory test panel.

A basic analysis and a comprehensive drinking-water analysis can have very different testing requirements. Therefore, one universal testing price should not be presented for every bore-water sample.

The intended use of the water should be identified first so that an appropriate testing panel can be selected.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bore Water Testing

1. Why should bore water be tested?

Testing helps determine selected physical, chemical and microbiological characteristics of groundwater for its intended use.

2. Can bore water look clean but still require testing?

Yes. Appearance alone cannot establish the complete quality or safety of groundwater.

3. Do you provide bore water testing in Islamabad?

Water testing requirements can be arranged for suitable groundwater sources in Islamabad.

4. Do you provide bore water testing in Rawalpindi?

Yes. Bore water testing requirements can be assessed for suitable properties in Rawalpindi.

5. What is tested in bore water?

The test panel depends on the intended use and may include physical, chemical and microbiological parameters.

6. Is TDS enough to determine whether bore water is safe?

No. TDS is only one water-quality parameter and does not by itself establish whether water is safe for drinking.

7. Should drinking water from a bore be laboratory tested?

Yes. Appropriate laboratory testing is recommended before relying on groundwater as a drinking-water source.

8. Can bore water quality change over time?

Yes. Groundwater characteristics can change because of environmental, geological and operational factors.

9. Can you test tube well water?

Yes. Water obtained from an existing tube well can be assessed using an appropriate testing panel.

10. How often should bore water be tested?

Testing frequency depends on the intended use and local circumstances. Water used for drinking may require more regular monitoring.

11. What affects water testing cost?

The number and type of laboratory parameters included in the test primarily affect the testing cost.

12. Can water testing determine how much groundwater is available?

No. Water-quality testing examines water characteristics. It does not by itself determine groundwater quantity or bore yield.
