boreholes
A borehole is a narrow, deep hole drilled into the ground to access underground resources such as water, minerals, or oil. It involves using specialized drilling equipment to penetrate rock or soil layers, allowing for the extraction or testing of these resources. Boreholes are essential for groundwater supply, scientific investigations, and resource extraction, enabling us to safely reach beneath the surface without extensive excavation. They are carefully designed to ensure stability and efficiency, often capped or lined to prevent contamination and maintain the integrity of the resource being accessed.
