Contact the Ugandan Drilling Contractors Association (UDCA) for advice on realistic prices for borehole drilling, borehole siting (geophysical / hydrogeological surveys), what to do with dry boreholes, contracts etc.

The UDCA can provide a list with our association drilling contractors and their contacts / websites as well as the list with licensed consultants that could help you site a borehole. The list of contractors also has reference numbers of their clients so you can verify their performance.

If there is any problem with one of our drilling contractors
the UDCA can help you solve it!
