If you are planning to drill a borehole in Nairobi or anywhere in Kenya, you cannot start drilling without a NEMA borehole license and other statutory approvals. The National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) requires an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) license for borehole projects, and several other permits must also be in place before drilling. Bestcare Facilities Management offers professional NEMA borehole license acquisition service in Nairobi and Kenya, helping property owners, farms, hotels, schools, and industries secure all required environmental and water‑use permits quickly and legally. Call Phone 0722466091 to start the licensing process and avoid penalties or project shutdowns.
Why you need a NEMA borehole license in Kenya
Kenya’s borehole licensing regime is governed by the Water Act, Water Resources Regulations, and the Environmental Management and Coordination Act (EMCA). NEMA mandates that any groundwater abstraction project—especially commercial or industrial boreholes—undergoes an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process and secures a valid NEMA license before drilling begins. Without this NEMA borehole license acquisition service in Nairobi and Kenya, you risk being fined, having your project stopped, or even facing project demolition orders from the County Government or local authorities.
The borehole licensing process also involves the Water Resources Authority (WRA), the County Water Department, and often the Water Resources Users Association (WRUA) or the local water utility. Bestcare Facilities Management coordinates with all these agencies, ensuring that your documentation, reports, and application forms are complete and compliant at every stage.
Steps in NEMA borehole licensing for Nairobi and Kenya
A typical NEMA borehole license acquisition service in Nairobi and Kenya follows a structured procedure:
-
Hydrogeological survey – A certified geologist conducts a resistivity or vertical electrical sounding survey to confirm groundwater availability, approximate depth, and expected yield. This survey report is mandatory for both WRA and NEMA.
-
County approval and planning permit – The County Water Officer reviews your application and issues a no‑objection or planning approval, which is usually required before NEMA will process your EIA.
-
EIA application to NEMA – You submit a detailed EIA report, project description, environmental management plan (EMP), and stakeholder‑consultation records. NEMA reviews the file and issues an EIA license if the project meets environmental standards.
-
WRA abstractor’s permit – The Water Resources Authority issues a water abstraction permit authorizing you to drill and use groundwater within stipulated limits and monitoring conditions.
-
Borehole drilling and registration – Once NEMA and WRA permits are in place, drilling can proceed. After completion, the borehole is registered with WRA and may require periodic returns or monitoring reports.
Bestcare Facilities Management handles all these steps for you, from site survey to permit submission, appeals, and follow‑up with NEMA and county offices.
