Drakensberg basalt cap on escarpment; Beaufort and Ecca Group sediments below. Groundwater at 30–100m in basalt fractures and sedimentary zones.
Request Site Assessment →Yes — Elliot and the surrounding Sakhisizwe municipality fall within our Eastern Cape coverage area.
Basalt-zone boreholes on the escarpment often yield at 30–70m. Lower-lying areas with Karoo sediments typically require 60–100m.
Yes — the Drakensberg receives good rainfall that recharges both shallow basalt aquifers and deeper sedimentary formations, making the area generally productive for borehole drilling.
