PART 12:STARTING A FARM FROM SCRATCH:KAJIADO TEST PUMPING Test pumping after drilling a borehole is essential for assessing the quantity and quality of water that can be extracted. The main steps involved are: \t1.\tPreliminary Pumping: This involves pumping water to remove any drilling debris and sediment from the borehole. \t2.\tStep-Drawdown Test: In this test, water is pumped at increasing rates in steps (e.g., 1-hour intervals) to measure the borehole’s capacity and the aquifer’s reaction t
