VOLUME 6

HYDROGEOLOGY

INTRODUCTION

This volume deals with the hydrogeological work carried out during the Tabora Region Water Master Plan. There was a field work phase described in Chapter 1 followed by an intensive analysis of the data. The results of this work are presented in this volume. The geology of the region is presented in Volume 8 together with the results of the photo interpretation etc.

The methodology of the hydrogeological work is described in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 gives a description of the two representative areas studied during the project, investigations performed and results recorded. The hydrogeology of the region is discussed and ground water potential assessed in Chapter 3. Finally practical recommendations for hydrogeological investigations and drilling are given in Chapter 4.

In volume 6A the detailed drilling results are given. The geophysical investigations are reported in Volume 7. Data on springs are given in Volume 8.

The exploitation of ground water is the key to the development of Tabora's water resources. Surface water sources are expensive and limited. Use of ground water is complex and requires systematic investigation, record keeping, and analysis. What is presented here is the beginning of work on Tabora's ground water resources.

CHAPTER 1

METHODOLOGY

The field investigation program for the study of the hydrogeology has been performed in two phases:

I II

Collection and study of available data. Collection and study of new data.

Fo 11 owi ng these phases ana lys i s of the results, has been performed'.

The Phase I comprised the following steps: .j'i'(':R',' . 1. Study of the aerial photos, topographicinaps:;,and .. geologi:; ....

and shallow wells. . .

Using the results of the studies during Step 1 the field work in Phase 11 could be planned and carried out. This part could be divided in four steps:

1, Geophysical investigations. 2. Drilling, well-logging, well testing. 3. Studies of representative areas. 4. Control of ground water level.

We now review the work that was carried out in the field along the above lines.

PHASE I COLLECTION OF AVAILABLE DATA

Studies of Maps

The region is largely by contour maps of the scale 1:50,000 prepared in the last five years. Only southermost part, south of the 6th latitude lacks coverage. Aerial photos of the scale about 1:50,000 and from the period 1974-75 cover the same area as the contour maps. However, older photographs exist which partly fill the gap and they have been used for completing the maps drawn for the project. For the hydrogeological analysis these photographs are adequate.

The interpretation of the aerial photographs comprised geology, seepage zones, land use and land forms, all of which are described and commented upon in Volume 8.

On the basis of the map studies complemented with fi i nves ti gati ons geo 1 ogi ca 1 maps were completed for the",four',,; districts as well as a structure map showing the main';l.in~aments and dislocation zones.

Inventory of Existing Ground Water Resources, Boreholes ' and Shallow Wells

An inventory of existing deep boreholes was carried out based upon the borehole files at the MAJI office in Tabora town and at Dodoma. According to this inventory 129 boreholes have been dri 11 ed i n Ta~ora as re~orded i ~ the records, but of;. thes~;,only 52 could be dlscovered ln the fleld. Most of the boreholes,were found in the Urambo District and very few in the Igunga District . A summary is given in the table below and the locations and a more thorough description of the boreholes is given in Volume 6A.

The use of boreholes for water schemes is given in Table 6.1.

A similar inventory of the shallow wells WdS carried out and the geology team here cooperated with the engineering and the village survey teams. The results of this field work is shown in Volume 3 Chapter 5, and Volume 38.

In all 163 shallow wells were inventoried and out these wells 80 were selected for the control of the water table during the project. A map showing the location of the wells is presented in Volume 3 (Chapter 5).

PHASE II COLLECTION OF NE\< DATA

Geophysical Investigations

The geophysical survey comprised 30 resistivity profiles, 30 resistivity soundings, 13 seismic profiles and 50 magnetic profiles. The siting of profiles was based upon the aerial photo interpretation and field checks. The results of all of this geophysical work are described and commented upon in the Volume 7.

Dri 11 i ng

The drilling was performed by using two rotary drilling rigs, one Schramm Rig (No. 48) for deep boreholes and one CME Rig (No. 53) for shallow boreholes. Both the rigs belong to MAJI and were run by MAJI staff.

Additional drillings of shallow boreholes with small diameter were carried by using a Borros Rig. The rig was used for com­pleting the investigations mainly in the representative areas as well controlling the lithology at some of the shallow wells and at the sites of the resistivity soundings. The advantage of this equipment is that it is possible to take undisturbed samples during the drilling and to set pipes for soil moisture -measurements and control of shallow ground water levels.

The drilling of deep boreholes started during May 1978 and continued to the end of April, 1979 and in all 23 completed boreholes were drilled. Due to delays of the transfer of the 01E rig to the project the work with this equipment did not start before October 1978 and continued until early May, 1979. The rig drilled 25 shallow boreholes usually in addition to the deep boreholes in resistivity and seismic profiles but also to investigate the sites of shallow wells. All the boreholes drilled are listed in the Table 6.2 and Table 6.3

During drilling of deep boreholes the penetration rate was recorded. A short description of the usefulness of this information is given below.

During the drilling, samples of the overburden and the bedrock were collected every 1.5 m (5 ft), and analyzed on the site or at project office in Tabora Town.

Hhen wa ter was struck wa ter samp 1 es from the boreho 1 es were taken and sent for analysis at the water laboratory at MAJI, ~1wanza. When sufficient water inflow was noted during the drilling of

deep borehole. If the result was promising it was followed up by a well test (see below).

The locations of the WMP boreholes and the existing boreholes are presented on the three di s tri ct maps, Fi gures 6.1. - 6.3.

In many cases the sub surface conditions and lithology of the deep boreholes were investigated with a well log unit consisting of SP, resistivity, gamma and temperature logs. The results of these logs are given in Volume 6A with the other borehole data.

~~Q~!!:~!!.QQ_B~!§

The drilling method used with the Schramm Rig can only provide dispersed samples of soils and rock chips blown up to the ground surface during the drilling. The accuracy of the analysis of the samples depends upon the representativity of the material collected which naturally, with this type of sampling, can be doubtful particularly in transition zones between gravel and bedrock, weathered boulders and weathered bedrock etc. However, record of the penetration rate assists in the interpretation of the lithology. For the correlation of penetration rate and lithology, the type of drill bit used must be noted as well as any changes of drill bit, whether one or two compressors are used, and if there are noticeable changes of pressure on the bit etc. When drilling through the overburden, i.e. loose material, usually a drag bit was used. After striking bedrock the bit was changed and the drilling continued with either a roller bit or cross bit. The penetration unit used was number of minutes per 1.5 m i.e. the length of time required for collecting one sample.

We 11 Tests

Deep Boreholes. The well test unit, which was supplied by the Ministry but had been developed by the Consultant on another project, consisted of two submersible pumps, one Ritz type 6666-16 of maximum capacity, 25 m3/hr at a lifthead of 100 'U and one DEBE pump with maximum capacity 5 m3/hr at 40 m 1 ifthead. The big pump had several breakdowns so the small pump was used for most of the tests: The pumps were mounted on a truck fitted with a mast, a wiredrum and a generator driven by a diesel engine. Unfortunately the electrical part of the unit had several breakdowns which seriously delayed the program. At a few boreholes the site proved inaccessable to the truck because of very wet conditions when the well test unit was available. In all, six WMP boreholes and three existing boreholes could be tested with the well test unit. The records of the results are shown in Volume 6A in the supplement of each of the tested boreholes.

The boreholes tested were:

Existing: 3/67, 2/69, 1/77. WMP: 66/78, 106/78, 125/78, 1/79, 10/79, 42/79.

Shallow Wells. In order to establish the water potential for typical shallow aquifers in the region a series of shallow wells were selected during the inventory that were considered as representative. Well tests were carried out for the wells. The equipment used was a Honda pump but it was soon evident that the pump emptied the wells too rapidly and that the possi­bility to vary the pump capacity was limited. The test thus had to be carried out by measuring the recovery of the wells after the pumping. In all 33 wells were investigated in this way. The results are given in Chapter 3 of this volume.

The well log unit of type Neltronic consisted of one spontaneous potential log (SP), two resistivity logs - one belonging to the Neltronic unit and one separate lateral resistivity log, one gamma log and one temperature log. The results were collected in the field on an automatic recorder connected to the logs.

The investigation with this unit, combined with the penetration rate, gives good information to determine the borehole profiles i.e. lithology, jointzones, waterbearing zones etc. It is particularly important to have this supporting data as in the type of drilling method used the samples not always give a satisfactory data about the conditions of the bedrock. For the older boreholes the completion forms of the drilling may be without information about waterbearing zones etc.

The unit was used in 18 boreholes, 9 of which belonging to the WMP series and 9 to the existing boreholes.

Due to lack of transport the equipment could not be used to full extent. The delivery of the gamma log and the temperature log was delayed so this part of the investigations could not be carried out in all the boreholes visited. A list of the boreholes is given below in Table 6.4 with the particular inves­tigations made in each. The results for each borehole are shown and commented upon in the borehole catalog (Volume 6A).

1.5 Studies of Representative Areas

1.6

In order to obtain more detailed infon11ation about the water balance intensive studies were carried out in two repre­sentative areas. Unfortunately, the period of investigations turned out to be too short for complete and satisfactory conclusions. This work was running during the entire field period but due to delays of the drilling as well as transport problem during the control program, the work was partly hindered.

The study is described in detail in Chapter 2 of this volume.

Control of Ground Water Levels

Q~~IL~!2r:~b!21~~

In connection with the inventory of existing boreholes and after the successive completion of the WMP boreholes a regular control of the ground water levels was carried out. Also here the control group faced problems due to severe transport problems, particularly during the later part of the project.

Altogether 20 existing boreholes and WMP boreholes were controlled. It should be mentioned that only those existing boreholes could be investigated that not were fitted with a pump.

Unfortunately, the control period was too short to give more than tendencies of the water level variation. The following boreholes comprise the series that could be controlled 4 months and more. Diagrams showing the variation are presented in Chapter 3.

The program for the areas comprised:

1. Geological investigations 2. Seismic investigations 3. Resistivity investigations 4. Magnetic investigations 5. Drilling investigations.

Installing of measuring equipment: precipitation gauge, ground water gauge, and stations for measuring the soil moisture.

The control program should be carried out by collecting results from the gauges each week as well as measuring the soil moisture. The instruments were constantly guarded by a watchman living within the areas.

Tumbi Representative Area

General -------The Tumbi representative area is situated about 10 km southwest of Tabora town and 1 km east of the village Tumbi along the road Tabora-Urambo. It consists of a well defined valley striking in the direction N-S, surrounded by ridges and debouching towards the south. The level of the lowest portion of the valley is about 1,170 m and the surrounding ridges reach to 1,255-1,288 m above m.s.l.

The length of the valley is about 4.5 km from the mouth in the south and to the top of the ridges in the north. The width is 2 km between the ridges in east and west in the widest part of the valley. The drainage basin covers an area of about 7 km2.

Geolog~

The bedrock consists mainly of grey middlegrained granite which is outcropping in the ridges and at the eastern side of the valley. Some parts are more gneissic with increasing content of mica. Some flat outcrops are found close to the valley­bottom in the northern part. The lower portions of the valley are covered by clayey-silty sediments and the overburden in the slopes consists of mainly sand-silt with some coarser material, gravel and boulders, along the outcrops on the higher levels. In the higher portions of the valley-fi 11 the ferroginous hardpan formation is found in the ground surface in scattered locations.

On the eastern slope and at a certain level within the middle part of the valley some shallow wells have been dug. The water bearing zone here is probably the silty-sandy deposits.

In the southern part of the valley a series of shallow wells occur but here they are situated close to the valley-bottom and in the transition zone between the mbuga-clay and the silty sand.

Land Use

The main village is situated along the foothill area of the ridges on the eastern side of the valley. Scattered houses are found in the western side as well.

Cultivation takes place only in the upper portions of the valley where mainly tobaccd fields are found. Maize and cassava are the major food crops. However, from the bottom of the valley to half way up the slopes the vegetation consist of sparse bush land with scattered trees. See Figure 6.9

See Figure 6.10. The profile was sited crossing the valley from hillsand-laterite on the western si de over the mbuga to the hill sanp­laterite on the eastern side.

The profile starts with indications on the presence of a weakness zone. The resistivity of 200 ohmm was obtained reaching a depth qf 82 m. The rest of the profile indicated shallow depths of the overburden less than 10 m. At 200 m the depth of 17 m for the overburden was obtained. The overburden consists of sandy silty layers in the lowest part 0f the profile; the resistivities vary here between 8.5-21 ohmm. Up the slope there is sand which is lateritic at the surface judging from the high values on the resi*­tivities 2000-9000 ohmm. The drilling at 700 m stopped against laterite and this layer seems to continue fairly far down the slope about 300 m. It is also present at probe 1.

See Figure 6.10. Profile 6-105 is sited about 460 m north of the previous profile 6-104 and with the same di recti on.

The depth to sol id rock is, in general, small, 5-7 m, in the middle of the valley. However, up the slopes on both sides of the valley the depths increase sl ightly. Between 300 and 450 m there is a depression in the bedrock to a depth of about 15 m. The depression was confirmed by the drilling of 5-206 A which agreed well with the geophysical results. Another borehole 5-206 B was drilled 20 m N of the previous gave 32 m to sol id rock. Another drill ing was carried out at 1000 m where bedrock was struck 10 m bgl also in good agreement with the resistivity sounding there. According to these two drillings a thin layer of weathered bedrock exists about a meter on top of the solid rock.

None of the other drillings reached solid rock. The major part of the overburden varies between 8 and 19 ohmm. According to the drillings the material is sandy silty and very compact and hard to penetrate. At the drilling of 5-205 B quite a few samples were sampled and sieved and the grain size distribution gave a tendency towards less clay content and coarser material with increasing depth. The top soil layers are dry and silty at the lower part of the profile while the resistivities up the slopes indicate dry sand. In the highest eastern part the sand appears to be lateritic.

The depths to solid rock is fairly small, less than 10 m, with exception for the soundings at 100 and 300 m where 20 m were obtained. Comparing the resistivities with the previous profile the overburden is sandy-silty in middle of the valley and becomes more sandy up the slopes. The surface 1 ayers are sandy with exception for the two lower probes taken in the middle of the profile where the material is more silty. Lateritic sand with high resistivity is found at the beginning and at the end, 800 m, of the profil e.

See Figure 6-9. The profile was sited along the Tabora-Urambo road. The O-point is situated about 700 m east of Tumbi village.

The major part of the profile shows shallow thickness of the overburden, about 10 m at the O-point and at the eastern end of the profile. A slight depression to 20 m may be noted at 400-600 m. At 100-300 m weathered and fissured bedrock was indicated to great depths.

The prominent part of the overburden consists of silt and sand. The low resistivity at the eastern end of th profile indicates more clayey material. As the profile was sited on the road the topsoil layers are the roadbank mainly sandy material. The boundary between the top soil and deeper overburden equals to the ground water table which is found about 2 m below ground level.

Resistivity Soundings: 6-414-416 (Figure 6.16)

Siting:

The soundings were carried out as a special investigation around BH 106/78 in order to gain information about the stratigraphy of the close surroundings of the borehole. The probes were sited as follows: See Figure 6.10 and Figure 6.15. Sounding No. 6-414 3 m N of BH 106/78, 6-415 50 m N of BH 106/78, 6-416 50 m S of BH 106/78. BH 5-202 and 5-203 have been extrapolated some 10 m into the profile. See Fig. 6.15.

Results:

The depths to bedrock agree well with those obtained at the drillings. Soundings 414 and 415 gave 21 m to solid rock while 416 gave 15 meters.

The overburden is generally sandy silty but there is a tendency towards less clay content and coarser material with increasing depth, compare the results from borehole. This fact explains the boundary at about 7 m, where a transition from 10 to 15 ohmm was obtained.

Seismic profile 6-204, BH 5-201 extrapolated into the profile at 30 m, BH 5-10 (106/78) at 50 m. BH 6-310 at 220 m.

See Fi gure 6.10. The profil e was sited crossing the valley outlet in the south.

The depth to bedrock is about 20-25 m at the beginning of the profile. The resistivity determined depth agrees well with those obtained at the seismic survey and at the drill ings. Towards east the depths decrease to less than 10 m. At probe 5,270 m, weak information of presence of fissured bedrock was obtained. At the drilling of BH 5-201 about a meter of weathered bedrock was drilled through before sol id rock was struck. The material is according to the grain size analysis gravelly sand.

The overburden in general is silty and sandy but parts are also coarser material. The resistivity of this material is 9-17 ohmm in the middle of the valley and becomes higher 32-64 ohmm towards east. This fact might depend on differences of conductivities of the pore water. As infiltration takes place in the hillsand on the slopes of the valley the conductivity is lower there, whole in the middle of the valley the ground water has flown for quite a long distance and accordingly been able to bring a lot of ions into solution, thus raising the conductivity. Another contributing factor is the evaporation which is higher in the lower part of the valley.

The high resistivities of the eastern slope indicate presence of laterite. This formation was struck at the drilling of BH 5-310 but is probably so thin that it does not show at the sounding at point 220 m.

The profile is situated 1 km east of the Tumbi Village and drawn parallel to the road Tabora-Urambo. The intention of the profile was to determine the possible continuation of a weakness zone found by the airphoto interpretation. This zone is running in N-S through a valley area which is debouching about 0.5 km north of the road and which has been selected as a representative area (Tumbi representative area). The terrain could be described as a flatland with hardly any noticeable depressions. The dominant soil is the silty clay.

Results:

The thickness of the overburden varies between 10 and 15 m from the O-point and to 250 and then from 750 m to the end of the profile. In the middle part the depth to the bedrock is about constant 20 m. However a depression of 35 m is found at 5.25 m. The seismics recorded two velocity layers. The upper layer with velocities 450-700 m/s consists of dry silt and sand and the lower layer with velocities 1350/2000 m/s is estimated to be sand and gravel below the ground water level. The bedrock expoes the velocity 5000 m/s which is common for granitic bedrock. This velocity is dominating in the wide depression in the middle part of the profile, 250-750 m. On the both sides of the depression several low velocity zones are found indicating possible weakness zones, see table below.

The profile is situated in the suthern part i.e. close to the orifice of the valley that was selected as a representative area, the Tumbi area. The profile crosses the lower portion of the valley and in the middle part the overburden consists of silty clay and on the si des of si 1 t and sandy si 1 t. On the eastern si de of the profile there is a zone of shallow wells which are said to be waterbearing during the whole year.

Results:

From O-point to 80 m the depth to the bedrock is 20-30 m and from 320 to 550 m the depth is 15 to 25 m. In the middle part of the profile, 80 to 320 m the depth is decreasing to 5-15 m.

The overburden has two layers, the first layer of which has velocities of 400-600 m!s indicating dry sandy - clayey soil to depths varying between 6-10 m. The second layer with velocities of 1300 to 1600 m!s consists of sand and gravelly sand below ground water level.

The dominating velocity of the bedrock characteristic for granite or gneissic low velocities are found (see table). the depression in the beginning of the

A borehole 106/78 was sited on this low velocity zone and the results correspond generally rather well with the interpretation of the lithology of the seismic profile.

However in the drilling point there are some differences. The bedrock was struck about 8 m higher than suggested which is explicable to the fact that the low velocity zone corresponded to a possible fault as well as to a rather deep transition zone between the weathered, decomposed granite and the fresh granite. The ground waterbearing layer was struck in the hole at the surface of the bedrock. The ground water level was here 8 m lower than estimated in the seismic profile.

The profile starts 100 m W of resistivity profile 6-112 and ends 200 m E of it following the Tabora-Urambo Road. See fi g. 6. 1 O.

Slightly higher values were obtained at 0-400 m of the resis­tivity profile where indications of weathering to large depths were achieved. There seems to be a relationship between the presence of the weakness zone and this weak anomaly. Another stronger anomaly was obtained between 500 m and 700 m which shows the same shape and fits to the positions of those obtained at the previous magnetic profiles. There is also a slight depression in the bedrock at the position of this anomaly similar to previous cases.

The profile starts with an anomaly similar to those in previous profiles. The peak value reaches 34300 gammas and the lowest value is 33300 gammas. The anomaly was obtained between 50 and 150 m and fits well to the presence of a depression and a weakness zone obtained at the seismic investigation. However, at the drill ing of BH 106/78 no tectonic zone was struck.

Summary of Geophysical Investigations

The bedrock surface in Tumbi valley seems in general to be very fl at. The overburden thi ckness is about 10 m in the mi ddl e of the valley and increases up the slopes on both sides to the outcrops. A slight depression was discovered in the western part of the va 11 ey. It runs in northsoutherly di recti on and is about 100 m wide. It reaches about 15 m below ground level in the north and about 20 m in the south. The·depression appears in connection with a prominent magnetic signature which easily can be followed from one profile to another on the ground magnetic surveys. The later review of the airborne magnetics showed that this anomaly fits into the general N-S magnetic pattern which covers most of the region. No intrusive rock or weakness zone has been indicated at the drillings; an eventual dyke is situated further to the west or the anomaly is caused by a more magnetite-rich part of the gneiss which obviously has weathered to somewhat larger depths when compared to the surrounding bedrock.

The overburden is silty sandy and very compact. There is a tendency towards less clay content and slight coarser material with increasing depth. The solid rock surface is covered by a layer of weathered bedrock of a thickness of about one meter. The major part of the ground water flow is presumably taking place in this layer.

The topsoil layers are silty clayey in the middle of the valley thus allowing almost no infiltraion during precipitation occasions. Up the slopes the topsoils are sandy silty and quite permeable. However, here is also found a layer of laterite which in some parts of the valley is rather impervious and makes the percolating water return to the ground surface down the slope and run off as sheet flow. The major refill of the deeper strata in the valley takes place through infiltration close to and in the fissured exposed bedrock.

TUMBI - DRILLING

Introduction

As already commented in the description of the geophysical investigations a number of boreholes were drilled: One deep borehole 5-206 (106/78) with the Schramm rig in the bottleneck of the valley. 10 shallow boreholes 5-201-206A, B - 209 with the CME rig and finally 2" ground water observation pipes 5-301-310 and 2" soil moi sture observati on pipes 5-401-412.

The boreholes served three purposes:

a. Control and complete the picture of the lithology surveyed by the geophysical investigations.

b. Control of the ground water conditions.

c. Supply the soil moisture investigation with suitable observation pipes.

General

On the whole the drilling results coincide well with the results of the geophysical investigations. The drillings have confirmed the presence of the structure running along the western side of the valley from north to south. According to the deep borehole at the outlet of the valley the structure does not imply any weakness zone nor any dyke but depends on a local more magnetite rich part of the gneiss.

The depths to bedrock increase from some 10 m in the central part of valley to about 20 m in the outlet of the valley. A slight relative increase in depth can be followed along the structure.

The many dri 11 i ngs wi th samp 1 i ng and soil investi gati on have given a good picture of the composition of the overburden.

The dri11ings are commented and listed as they appear in the geophysical profiles. The positions of the boreho1es are given in fig. 6.11.and the records of the dri11ings are shown in their respectiveprofi1e. If any additional investigation has been carried out as soil analysis, study of the penetration rate etc, boreho1e record has been given separately in this section.

Only one borehole as carried out in profile 6-104:

Boreho1e No. Distance Depth

5-307 700 m 3.5 m

The borehole was drilled in the vicinity of outcropping laterite in order to maintain a record of the ground water level in the sediments on top of the impervious laterite. The latter was struck at 3.5 m and the static water level was recorded 2 m.b.g.l. in December, 1978. The drilling penetrated sand from the ground surface to the bottom of the hole.

The determinations of the bedrock position coincide well with the resistivity at 400 and 1000 m where the CME drillings reached sol id rock. It should be mentioned though, that the drilling 10 m N of 400 m 5-206B reached 32 m so the depression recognized at 350-400 m is obviously deeper towards N.

AUGERING WITH THE BORRDS DRILLING MACHINEAT 200 M IN PROFILE 6-105 (BH 5-401)

The major part of the ovet'burden consists of sand and silt which is very compact and ilard making it almost intpossii)le to pene­trate by percussion and is further indicaterl'ly the difficulty to dri 11 th rou0h the lJyer wi th the 1 i ght BOt'ros dri 11 i ng machine. The hard formation combined with a noderate clay con­tent of the top soil s makes the overburden in the central p'art of the profile almost impervious. This condition might explain why no ground water was struck during the drillings in the pro­file. However, at the drilling of 5-2068 north of the profile water \Vas struck at 26 m which rose to 24.5 m b.g.1- indicating that the ground water taill e at the time of the dri 11 ing (end of dry season) was situated 10lver than the position of the solid rock in profile 6-105.

The determinations of the depths to bedrock coincide well with the geophysical investigations. The thickness of the overburden decreases from about 20 m determined at and around BH 5-106 (106/78) to about 15 m at the eastern end of the profile BH 5-209 (186/78).

The overburden consists mainly of sand and silt. are clayey in the lower part of the profile while be more silty on the slope. The thickness of the layer is according to the drill ings in the center valley about 1.5 m.

The shallow drilling at 210 m, 5-310, was carried out in the transition zone between the valley bottom and the slope. As shown in the Figure 6.24 the upper 3 m were easily penetrated consisting of clayey sand. The soil was saturated with water obviously trapped by impervious laterite which was struck at 3.20 m b.g.l. A few seasonal shallow wells are dug in this section of the valley, one of which is situated close to the profile.

The major part of the overburden is silty sand with a tendency towards coarser material at larger depth. Soil analysis of the bottom-most material from SII 5-201 (138/78) showed sand and gravelly sand. These layers are obvious \'iaterbearing as ground water was struck there at most of the drilling operations in the central part of the valley. The ground water rose to about 14 m b.g.!. in the drill holes at the central part of the valley. The drilling and soil analysis of BH 5-209 (186/78) showed more than 70% sand down to a depth of 12 m when the clay content increased to about 20%. Ground water was struck at 10.7 and 4.5 m b.g.l. and rose to about 2 m b.g.l.

The Tumbi representative area is situated about 10 km WSW of Tabora and 1 km E of the Tumbi village along the Urambo road. See map 106/78:1 (topographic sheet 118/1).

Air photo showed a well defined valley striking in N-W surrounded by ridges and out­cropping bedrock and debouching towards the south. The valley bottom is covered by mbuga­silt and the slopes mainly by sand-silt. The bedrock consists of granite. DUring the field survey several outcrops were found at the eastern side of the valley and also close to the valley bottom. Some water holes were found on the gentle slope close the valley bottom.

The following geophysical investigations have been carried out within the representative area, one seismic profile 6-204, three resistivity profiles 6-104, 6-105 and 6-106 and four magnetic profiles.

The results of the geophysi cal survey show a weakness zone depression running in south­northerly direction along the western side of the valley bottom. Furthermore, the magnetic survey showed an anomaly coinciding with the depression.

Comments: The penetration is fast down to bedrock surface. The low speed through the weathered portion of the bedrock down to about +1120 (35 m) probably depends upon that the drill bit had not been changed. Below +1128 m the penetration diagram indicates the use of two compressors and the variation of the rate shows that the bedrock is intersected by small joints.

Below the waterstruck zone with the casing the resistivity curves are gently undulating down to +1082-83m "hdicating finely jointed bedrock with possibly small seepage zones. Below this level the bedrock is dense.

Tho temperature is ranging between 270C and 30 C.

Comments on the Well-Testing Result of BH 5-106 (106/78)

The well testing of BH 106/78 was carried out as an aquifer test with observations on the drawdown during the pumping in the surrounding BH:s 5-201 (138/78), 5-202 (139/78), 5-203 (140/78) and 5-204 (140/78B). However, very little or no reaction was observed in the two northern boreholes 5-202 and 5-204, see Table 6.6. This might depend on the fact that those holes were either poorly flushed after the completion or that they were drilled to another aquifer. However, nothing in the geophysical investigations pointed towards the presence of any aquifer not connected to the one in the vicinity of BH 106/78.

The aquifer test was performed at a constant yield of 0.7 m3/h The pumping continued for 24 hours and observations were carried out regularly during this time. After pump stopped the recovery was measured in the tested borehole. All data from the pumping test is collected in 106/78:3. The time drawdown curve from the well test shows a discontinuous behavior indicating that the aquifer is i nhomogeni ous and evi dently consi sts of "pockets" which are gradually emptied during the testing. Moreover, the rapid drawdown at the end of the test indicates that the yield was chosen to be too high. But, by modifying the drawdown values according to the formula:

where:

h m

~ ho

= h 2 (ho -h)

2 ho

= The modified drawdown value = The actual drawdown value = The initial static water level

A fairly continuous curve was obtained for at least the middle most important part of the curve allowing T to be determined.

Thus, the presumption of homogenity and isotropy cannot be considered fulfilled and hence the T value calculated may not be rel iable.

However, the recovery data show a fairly continuous curve when plotted and the storage coefficient and transmissivity calculations from the drawdown in the observation holes also contribute to the calculation of an average T value for the aquifer at the Tumbi valley outlet. The table below gives the calculated permeability from the lithology at BH 106/78 consisting of the following layers:

In the following table all values concerning the aquifer are collected. Furthermore, the yields corresponding to each permeability is calculated according to the formula used to relate recharge, yield and subsurface conditions, see Chapter 3 of this volume.

The table tells that the estimated permeabilities from the lithology are too high when comparing with the values obtained at the welltesting. The values obtained at calculations from BH 106/78 data are in general low when comparing those obtained from the observation pipes. The low and discontinuous values due probably to the following:

1. The horizontal distribution of the aquifer is limited. No drawdo~m was measured in the observation pipes north of BH 106/78.

2. There is a vertical distribution of aquiferous layers with different hydraulic properties. The time-drawdown curve at the yiel d test presents several "steps".

Soil Moisture Measurements

The measurement methodology is penetratingly described in Volume 4, Chapter 5. In the following only the results from the Tumbi basin as an isolated water balance system will be discussed.

The Measuring Program in Tumbi Basin

Altogether 12 stations for soil moisture measurement were installed in Tumbi representative area. Every station with one exception (5-401), consisted of two tubes one plain tight for the soil moisture measurement and one with perforated point for ground water level observations. The latter was generally set to about the same depth as the former.

The stations were measured about once a week from the end of 1978 to May 1979. At each station a reading was taken each 0.1 m at the top of each tube and thereafter every 0.2 m to the bottom of the tube. See the picture. At the same time the ground water level was taken in the nearby observation pipe.

Resul ts

As already pointed out in Volume 4 the observation time is far too short for any definitive conclusions to be drawn. But the following trends can be noted: When comparing the moisture content of the soil s at the center of the valley with those * achieved from the observation pipes drilled in the hillsand it can be notified that the moisture content is generally higher at the center of the valley. This difference is larger during periods of little or no rainfall emphasizing the presence of more fine grained and more water keeping-material at the center of the valley.

At the slopes where the more coarse grained material prevails the water percolates faster tL·JS showing a less moist content., The content also tends to be more seasonal dependent as low values were obtained during periods of extensive draught. Thus the soil moisture measurements confirm the theory of very little infiltration in center of the valley while the main recharge of the ground water takes place in the hill sand areas up the slopes.

* See appendix 5, Volume 4.

Summary of the Ground Water Conditions in Tumbi Representative Area

The occurence of the ground water in Tumbi area can be separated into two major aquifers.

One shallow aquifer supplied by water recharging in the hillsand area and within the exposed 'bedrock area inside the water divide, see Fi gure 6.30. The permeabilit~ of t~e materi al in the shallow aquifer is fairly high 10- - 10- m/s estimated from the grain sizes. The ground water level varies from one spot to another depending 0 the occasional occurence of laterite blankets which are buried in the hillsand. Hence there was no laterite and no water struck at the drilling of 5-208, while 5-305 ended on laterite. This last borehole responds comparatively fast to precipitation and shows fairly large variation, see Figure 6.31 The laterite blankets are more or less impervious and trap percolating water allowing part of it to continue downwards and forcing most water via subsurface outflow to the ground surface at the lower portions of the slopes. This water forms a sheet flow on the ground surface and is collected at the bottom of the valley where it evaporates.

The deep aquifer occupies the central part of the valley. It is mainly refilled by water from the shallow aquifer which flows through the coarse porti on of the overburden close to the surface of the bedrock. The communication between the two aquifers is very poor; a fact which is shown by the large differences in the positions of the static water levels, e.g. at BH 5-209 the level is 2 m b.g.l. vs BH 5-106 where the water level is about 15 m b.g.l. Also taking the difference is ground level between the two boreho1es into consideration the total difference in static water 1 evel sums up to about 20 m in a di stance of 300 m. .

A very small contribution to the aquifer is achieved from precipitation and sheet flow (see above) on the soils covering the central parts of the valley. The drillings have shown, that the soils are very fine grained and compact but the soil moisture measurements have proved that small amounts of water do, in spite of this fact, percolate through the overburden.

The upper parts of the valley appears to be dry most of the year with exception for occasional deeper depressions e.g. at BH 5-206B where ground water was struck 25 m b.g.l. (+1145 m). At the valley outlet in the south the level was recorded 16 m b.g.1. (+1154) at the same time. The differences in level is either another proof of the poor communication within the deep aquifer or means that it is separated into two basins by a threshold of bedrock.

Figure 6.32 shows the ground water variations during one year in BH 5-106. The variation is, as might be read from the diagram, very small and no reactions are achieved from the ground water level on occasions of precipitation. The low value in the later part of November is suspected to be a measurement error.

At the bottom of the diagram the levels from 13 days in February 1978 can be studied in detail. The cm-fluctuations obtained depends probably on the tide.

Computed Maps of Tumbi Representative Area

In order to compare the computed maps of Tumbi representative area with known conditions in a convenient way, extracts of the general computed maps have been made for the area and the surroundi ng blocks. In the following each of the maps performi ng yi e 1 d, geology, 1 andform and 1 and surface wi 11 be di scussed.

Genera 1

In the computed maps, Tumbi representative area is represented by 11 blocks which is 11 km2 and consequently covers 4 km2 more than the area mapped on the topographic sheets, see Figure 6.9 This depends on the shape of the area. To be exact, only about 1/3 of the northern two blocks are occupied by the area and about the same situation is valid for the three southern blocks.

It shou1 d a1 so be kept in mind that the each block of the computed map 2epresents the average situation inside that particular km when it comes to properties like geology etc.

The Ground Water Potential Map

Accgrdin g to the computed map each of the 11 km 2 would yield 5 m /h. The presumpti ons for that is a depth to bedrock of 23 m a permeability of 10-5m/s and a static water level of 4.0 m see Table 6.66 Comparing those values which are average values estimated for the whole region where this geology prevails with the conditions at Tumbi the following can be noted:

a. The depth to bedrock is 34 m at the valley outl et BH 106/78 and only about 10 m higher up in the valley (apart from the depression to the west).

b. The well-test of BH 106/78 indicated a transmissivity of 2.0 x_~0-6 m2/s implying a permeability ~f 1.1 x 10 m/s.

c. The static water level at the valley outlet is about 15 m and still lower higher up in the valley.

The most important factors which makes the Tumbi area produce less deep ground water than the computed map promises are the permeability at the valley outlet which is about 100 times lower than the estimated value and the aquifer-thickness which is very small in the upper northern part of the valley. Consequently, the Tumbi basin is too small to be representative for the granitic areas of the region as a whole when studying the possibilities to extract deep ground water.

The Geology Map

According to the computed map the whole basin belongs to geology class 8;soil over granite. This agrees with field observations in the valley. The flat land which occupies the valley-bottom is too narrow to be classified as alluvium and the occasional occurences of laterite at the sides of the valley are also too narrow to be classified.

The Land Form Map

The Tumbi basin is here represented by outcrops and pediments undifferentiated which agrees well with the field observations, see photos.

The Land Surface Map

According to the computed map the Tumbi basin is occupied by village land. grass and woodland. This seems to be good judgement with respect to the actual condtions compare the photos.

2.2 NATA REPRESENTATIVE AREA

General

The area is a fl at basin situated about 15 km north of Nzega wi the outlet close the the Shinyanga road. The basin extends 4.3 km towards south and its maximum width is 1.8 km, see Figure 6.

The rather flat basin has a well defined water shed which is easily determined from the topographic map with the help of air photos. The drainage basin covers an area of 4.9 km2 • The a lti tude of the southern hi ghest parts reach + 1200 m a. s.1. , while the altitude of the valley outlet is about + 1150 m. gradient of the stream which occupies the middle part of the valley and dewaters the area towards north is consequently 1. 25%.

Geology

According to the geological map the southern half of the valley consists of granitic bedrock while the northern part is a formation belonging to the Nyanzian series. This seems to be dark consist of shales, phyllites and quartzites judging from the results of the drilling carried out. The contact zone is on the map visualized as a staircase descending towards east, each of the three steps are separated by faults running in north -southerly direction. The faults are on air photos recorded as very weak lineaments. The overburden consists mainly of sand and sil t. Outcrops of lateritic hardpan are found along the eastern slope. At the margin of this formation a few waterholes exist. The water is seeping out of the hardpan dnd becomes trapped by the lower 1 aying sil ty cl ayey material. These waterhol es carry water throughout the dry season. Furthermore, shallow waterholes are dug in lowest parts of the dry river course. The stream carries water only during the wet season .

Seismic profile 6-206 with the same O-point and length. BH 5-109 (125/78) and BH 5-318 at 300 m BH 5-314 at 470 m. Magnetic profile 5-308 starting 200 m W of probe 1.

The profile was sited about 500 m S of the outlet point and crosses the vall ey, see Fi g. 6.38. The small stream, which runs in the center of the valley is passed at 400 m.

The largest depths to bedrock were obtained at both ends of the profile, 50 m at probe 1 and 95 m at probe 7. Between those two points the bedrock level was found between 20 and 25 meters. The depths agree well with those obtained at the seismic investiga­tion and the drilling. At probe 7 a 86 ohmm layer was indicated at 30 m depth which probably is fissured schist or gravelly valley fill. The major part of the overburden is rather compact clay and silty clay averaging 12 ohmm which becomes more gravelly with increasing depth, (see borehole record 5-211). The clay content of 20% however, seems to remain from top to bottom of the borehole. Low resistivity 3.6-7.2 ohmm sectionwise at the surface, indicates clayey wet material close to ground surface. The alluvial sand at the stream is according to probe 5 about 2 m thick and continues as top soil about 50 m on each side of the stream course. The ground water level is close to the ground level which explains the presence of low resistivity layers at the ground surface.

At the western end of the profile the resistivities are between 16 and 19 ohmm implying coarse material. The same material is found at probe 9 and 10 at 10 and 16 m below ground level respectively. At the drilling of 5-213 a silty gravelly layer was struck at 26 m below ground level and it is believed that this is the resistivity layer mentioned above.

The 65 and 72 ohmm resistivities obtained at probe 7 and 8 could be fissured bedrock and the large depth at probe 8 thus indicating the presence of a weakness zone. Close to probe 10 there is a lot of outcropping laterite. There is also a shallow pond there trapping water, which flows on top of the laterite. Being saturated the laterite does not show in the resistivity measurements.

The profile was sited 320 m S of the previous profile 6-108, see Fi gure 6.37.

At the western part of the profile depths of about 50-60 m were obtained. They decrease to about 30 m in the middle and increase again to about 50 m in the eastern end. The deepest part of the overburden is varying between 22-29 ohmm indicating gravelly material when comparing the resistivities of the previous profil e.

On top of this layer is a more clayey layer averaging 6.6 ohmm.

The top soil resistivities are varying a great deal indicating material with varying clay and moist content. The drilling 5-315 was too shallow to contribute with any information about deeper strata.

Resistivity Soundings 6-406-411

Siti ng

The soundings were carried out as a special investigation around BH 5-108 (124/78) in order to gain information about the stratigraphy of the immediate surroundings of the borehole. The same layout used around BH 5-206 (106/78) at Tumbi has been used; thus 6-406 was sited 3 m N of 5-108 (124/78), 6-410 50 m to the North, 6-411 50 m to the south, 6-407 3 m to the East 6-408 50 m to the east and 6-409 50 m to the west. Shallow borehole 5-210 and Borros drill hole 5-317 have been shown on the drawing. (See Figure 6.22 )

Resul ts

All six resistivity soundings indicated depths to solid formation of between 23 and 29 m. The indications were obtained about 5 m deeper than those achieved at the seismic investigations.

The Nyanzian bedrocks in the area consist according to the drillings weathered schist on top of siltstone which at about 24 m depth turns into harder grey schist. This transition zone has obviously been recorded at the geophysical investigations. Deeper on, at 42 m, the greyish schist becomes harder as the quartzitic content becomes higher. This fact is clearly indicated by a sudden increase in the penetration rate. Ground water was also struck in the transition zone. The overburden consists mostly of sand and gravel, see the record of drilling 5-117, with a moderate clay content. The weathered schist was struck and sampled at 10 m b.g.l.

The ground water level was indicated at· about 1.5 m b.g.l. at the time of the investigation and was recorded at about that level at the resistivity investigation. The portion of overburden below ground water level and the weathered schist and siltstone down to the transition zone at 25 m obviously comes out as one single resistivity layer of 2.6-5.0 ohmm. The low resistivity depends on the comparatively high conductivity of the ground water 190 mS/m.

Description:

Nzega, Village: Nata 80/1 5152 95488 N 950

350 m 5 m Resistivity soundings 6-406-411 Deep boreholes 107/78, 124/78 Shallow BH 190/78. Borros hole 5-317.

The profile is located in the northern part of the Nata representative area 150 km north of Nzega town. The profile is crossing the valley and the river course at the new bridge (Nzega-Shinyanga road), 1 km south of the Village Nata. The profile is crossing the flat river plain which is covered by sandy-silty fluvial sediments. On the sides of the profile the soil consists of clay and silt.

Result

The thickness of the overburden is 15-20 m and the surface of the bedrock is rather flat. Two layers of different velocities are recorded. The top layer with velocities 400-700 m/s has a thickness of 7-10 m and might consist of dry clayey silt and sand. The other layer has the velocities 700-1500 m/s which is supposed to correspond with silt and sand below the ground water. The velocities of the bedrock ranges between 2500 and 3000 m/s which is representative for schists. Only three narrow low velocity zones have been recorded. See below.

20- 25 2000 120-125 2100 170-180 1500 BH 107/78 and 124/78

One borehole 107/78 was sited on the velocity zone 1500 m/s at 172 m where a small depression is found also. As BH 107/78 caved in another borehole was drilled close to No. 124/78. The result of the borehole coincides fairly well with the interpretation of the seismic profile. Thus the clayey-silty-sandy loose sediments show the same thickness. The dense half consolidated siltstone has a thickness of about 15 m. The hard schist is struck at about 24 m which differs from the seismic with about 2 m. The water was struck at about 40 m in BH 124/78 and the ground water was rising to finally about 0.5 m below the ground level.

Seismic Profile 6-206 (Fig. Di stri ct: Topographic Sheet No. UTM of O-poi nt: Profile Direction: Profil e Length: Geophone Distance: Additional Investigations:

Description:

6.44) Nzega, Village: Nata 80/1 5152 95 488 N 950

300 m 5 m Resistivity profile 6-107 Deep borehole 125/78 Shallow BH 191/78, BH 16/79 Borros hole 5-314 and 5-318

The profile is situated 500 m south of the profile S-205 within the Nata representative area. It is crossing the course of the small river that is dewatering the area. The central part is covered by fluvial sandy silty sediments. The dominant soils on the valley soils consist of silt and sand as well. On the eastern side layers of hardpan formation is outcropping and the margin of this formation shallow well s occur.

Result

The conditions are here almost the same as in profile 205. The thickness of the overburden varies from about 30 m at the beginn­ing of the profile to about 20 m along the rest of the profile. The surface of the bedrock is rather even. The top layer of the overburden has a thickness of 5 to 8 m and the velocity 350-600 m/s which corresponds with dry silt and sand. The underlying horizon with the velocity ranging from 600 to 1500 m/s is interpreted to

. consist of sandy-silty material below ground water level.

The bedrock is giving the same velocity as in profile 205-2500-3000 m/s which is suggested to be a schist. There is only one low velo­city zone here 2300 m/s at 100-110 m. The borehole 125/78 was· sited on this zone which here according to the borehole log seems to be a depression. The top soil in borehole consists of silty clay-clay which is followed by more calcareous gravelly material probably loose sediments on the surface of the rather hard and well consoli­dated siltstone which here when it is gradually getting harder in the lower portions gives velocity as a weakness zone in the bedrock. It is underlied by the hard phyllitic schist. The water is struck at 16.5 m, i.e. in clayey silt and then at 41.8 m in the hard schist. The ground water raised to the ground level.

Comments

In the boreholes in this area the clayey top layers correspond to the velocity-layer 350-600 m/so The gradually harder siltstone towards the depth whi ch is consi dered to belong to the 1 ake sedi ments described in the description of the geology and the boreholes gives the velocities 1200-1500 m/so Finally the nyanzian phyllitic schist corresponds to the velocity 2500-3000 m/s which is normal for a metamorphic sedimentary bedrock.

2.2.2 Drilling

The following boreholes were drilled in the area: Three deep boreholes by the Schramm drill rig, 107/78, 124/78 and 125/78. The borehole 124/79 was a substitute for 107/78 which caved in. Five shallow boreholes by the CME rig 190/78, 191/78, 16/79, 17/79, and 18/79 and finally nine holes by the Borros rig: 5-314-318 observation pipes and 5-413-416 soil moisture-pipes.

Profile 6-205

The following boreholes were drilled in profile 6-205 and in the vicinity of BH 5-108 (124/78):

* See attached BH descriptions.

The first and northermost profile shows a good conformity between the geophysical investigations (seismic profile 6-205 and resistivity soundings 6-406-411) and the drillings. The overburden is about 10 m thick and according to the SChramm drillings it consists of clay and silt probably with layer of cal crete and gravel. A detail ed sampl ing was made by the Borros Rig BH 5-317 and expressed that the topmost meters consist of clayey and silty sandy layers underlain by mostly sandy and gravelly sandy deposits. The loose deposits are followed by a light gray half-consolidated stratified siltstone which gradually is getting harder at deeper portions.

The surface of the siltstone was determined from the analysis of the Schramm drillings. In the control-hole made by the Borros rig the surface zone was sampled and the sample consisted of very weathered Nyanzian schist. It is possible that it can be interpreted as weathered strata of the Nyanzian schist intercalating with the siltstone. Consequently the siltstone should belong to the Nyanzian formation. Another possibil ity is that the Nyanzian schist found at the same level as the upper part of the siltstone could belong to material deposited in a river bed or to a layer of gravel and boulders of beach sediments in a lake where the finegrained siltstones had been stratified.

According to the samples analyzed the thickness of the siltstone hovlever, differs in the two deep boreho 1 es: It is about 28 m in BH 107/78 and about 34 in BH 124/78 which might depend upon the

difficulties in obtaining proper samples with this type of drilling. However, according to the penetration rate in both the holes a harder formation is found at about 42 m below the ground level which should correspond to the hard grey schist which is underlaying the siltstone and which is partly quartzitic.

The representative area at Nata is a flat basin situated about 15 km north of Nzega with the outl et towards north-east close to the Shinyanga road. The basin extends 4.3 km towards the south and its maximum width is 1.8 km. See BH 107/78:1 (topographic sheet 80/1).

The rather flat basin has a well defined watershed which is easily determined on the topographic sheet with the help of air photos.

According to the geological map, geological degree sheet 28 Nzega NW, the bedrock in the northern part of the valley consists of a formation belonging to the Nyanzian series which towards the south is succeeded by granite. The contact zone is visualized as a staircase descending towards east, each of the three steps are separated by faul ts running in north-southerly direction. The faults are found on air photos as very weak lineaments. The overburden consists mainly of sand and silt. Outcrops of lateritic hardpan are found along the eastern slope. By the edge of this deposit a few waterholes exist. The water is seeping out of the hardpan and becomes trapped by the lower lying silty clayey material. These waterholes carry water throughout the dry season. Furthermore, shallow waterholes are dug in lowest parts of the dry river course. The stream carries water only during the we t sea son.

Two seismic profiles have been carried out in the no;'thern end of the valley, 6-205 is the northermost one with a length of 350 m. 6-206 was sited 400 m south of the previous one. The length of the profile is 300 m. Resistivity profile 6-107 and magnetic profile 6-308 are running parallel to 6-206. Resis­tivity profile 6-108 and magnetic profile 6-309 were sited 300 m south and parallel to the previous one. Resistivity 6-109 and magnetic

Comments: The well log measurements could not be carried out because the boreho1e caved in but a comment should be made on the penetrati on.

The penetrati on is here very fast down to about +1110 m, 41 m below ground level. The speed is ranging between 2-3 min/1.5 m to 8 min/1.5 m. Below 41 m the penetration changes abruptly to 37-40 min/1.5 m, corresponding to the change of the lithology, from si1tstone­shale to hard schist. The increasing amount of quartzitic bedrock is ref1 ected by the slower penetration about 60 min/1.5 m below +1093 m.

The following boreholes were drilled in profile and in the vicinity of BH 5-109 (125/78):

* See attached BH record with soil analysis.

The depth to the Nyanzian formation achieved at the drilling of 5-109 (125/78) coincide well with the depth obtained at the geophysical survey. Comparing the drilling at the valley outlet the clayey silty portion of the overburden is richer here at the sacrifice of weathered schist and siltstone. The CME drillings Nand S of the deep borehole showed 12 and 7.5 m thicker overburden respectively. Analysis of samples collected at the drill ing of 5-211 (191/78) showed clayey silt with increasing content of gravel towards the bottom.

The undisturbed samples collected at the drilling of 5-315 show that at least the upper 5 m of the overburden is fai rly heterogeneous with interlayering gravelly layers, probably of alluvial origin. At about 5 m depth the material became very compact, thus 1 imiting further drill ing.

The results from the drill ings of 5-314 on the eastern bank of the stream showed more homogenous material - clayey silty sand dOl~n to about 3.5 m when the material became too compact to allow further drilling.

Three well tests were carried out in this boreho1e, two step draw-down tests dated 07.02.79 and 16.02.79 and one aquifer test dated 08-09.02.79. The 6th step in the draw-down test dated 16.12.72 has been chosen when calculating T and S. No draw-down in the observation holes was noticed.

(See Vol. 7) " "

Comments: The penetration in this hole is a bit slower through the everburden and the upper part of the si1tstone and shale than in the other bore­holes in the area, 107/78 and 124/78. The penetra­tion rate is stepwise increasing down to about 40 m b.g.1. +1113, where the bedrock consists of the Nyanzian schist which here seems to have intercal­ating layers of.hardpan (murram) with quartz pie­ces. Deeper down at +1113 the deposits are harder with rates increasing to 180 min/1.5 m.

The increasing density downwards of the metamorphic sediments is shown in the SP and resistivity logs.

The temperature curve is rather constant at 27.0-28.80C with three local peaks going up to 32-330(, which might indicate water-bearing zones in the laminated sediments.

12. Water analysis:

13. Remarks:

116

The uppermost one, at +1134, can coincide with water struck at 16.5 m i.e. +1136 m. The next one, at +1116, with a depression in the resistivity curve at +1135 (0.035 K ohm m) and finally the deepest one at +1105 m is coinciding with the resistivityO.045 K ohm m almost at same level.

The reactivity of the temperature sound is a little slow which could explain the difference between the levels of the water struck and the temperature maxima.

BH No. Distance Depth Remarks

5-316 100 m 3.0 See attached BH record with soil analysis Fig. 6.54.

5-214 (18/79) 380 m 36.6 5-213 (17/79) 530 m 44.2

The two CME holes were drilled on the eastern slope where the resistivity survey indicated large and varying depths to solid rock. The drillings confirmed the geophysical indications as comparatively large depths were achieved 36.6 and 44.2 m respectively. Studying the geological map the contact between the Nyanzian formation and the granite is not very far to the south, moreover, a couple of minor faults running in N-S direction appears to be connected with this contact. One expl anation to the 1 arge and varying depths to the sol id rock at the eastern part of th profile might be that a fault belonging to that system is crossing here. The gravely deep portion of 5-213 (17/79) should presumably be interpreted as weathered schist. The upper portion is mainly clayey silty while the topmost five meters most probably consist of laterite.

At the drilling of 5-214 (18/79) there were also signs of weathered schist at depths below 12 m but calcrete is also mixed into a large extent. It is impossible to determine from the cutting if weathered bedrock was struck at this particular drilling. The topmost 3 m seems to consist of laterite. BH 5-316 was a shallow hole carried out by means of the 8orros equi pment. It reached 3 m only where a too hard formation made it impossible to continue. The soil analysis showed a very sandy material with a fairly low clay ccntent of about 15%.

Soil Moisture Measurement at Nata Representative Area

General

The methodology of the measurements is described in Volume 4 Chapter 5.

The soil moisture measurements in Nata basin comprise four stations spread over the investigated northern part of the basin. The latter being very flat and with no expressed sandy hillslopes does not allow compositions as those made in the Tumbi representative area. The amount of stations in Nata also limits the possibilities to draw any extensive conclusions from the soil moisture measurements. However one interesting comparison has been made below.

The soil moisture variations in Nata representative area.

The measurements at Nata began in the middle of December 1978 and were finished at the beginning of May when the WMP project ended.

Hhen comparing the drill ing records from BH 5-314 = 5-413 figure 6.52 and 5-315 = 5-415, Figure 6.55 The following can be noted:

(1) The upper meter is more fine grained at 5-413 with 36% sand against 60% at 5-415.

(2) The portion 1-2 m contains mainly gravel 65% at 5-415 while the corresponding soil at 5-413 consists of clay silty sand.

In Figure 6.56 the water content 'In nm has been shown varying with the depth for the three holes 5-413, 414 and 415. Looking at the upper meter the two holes 5-413 and 5-414, they present about the same moist content. At the depth between 1 and 2 m, however, BH 5-413 shows generally larger values. This means that the water drains off downwards faster in the case of BH 5-415 due to the more coarse grained material, growth, at that particul ar depth. The presence of gravel due probably to the fact that BH 5-415 was drilled in the vicinity of the stream at the center of the valley and the gravelly layer is thus of alluvial origin and not especially thick.

BH 5-414 was drilled up the slope to the east and not very far from the water divide. The soil moisture content shows about the same picture as that of the previous borehole. The presence of coarse material due in this case to the lateritic sand and gravelly layers which, according to the additional investiga­tions, continue to quite large depths. Thus the main infiltra­tion to the deeper laying strata takesplace on the hillsand areas. Judging from the tables in VO,lul'le 4, Chapter 5 the soil moi sture content of BH 5-416 behaves 1 n about the same way as BH 5-413.

2.2.3 Ground Water Conditions in Nata Representative Area

The ground water conditions at Nata differ in some respect from those in Tumbi. The main difference is the presence of artesian and subartesian water in the central part of the valley. See the simplified picture in Figure 6.57 This means that the valley partly must be considered a confined aquifer supplied from water infiltrated upstream and from the sides of the valley close to the water divide. The aquifer responds to precipi­tation during the wet season with some delay. This fact is e.g. showed by the overflowing of BH 5-109 (125/78) at the beginning of April, see Figure 6.58 while the heavy precipitation was in February and March. BH 5-108 (124/78) situated at the outlet of the valley shows the same picture as seen by the rise in the SW after the heavy precipitation period but delayed up to one month. So does CME hole 5-213 close to the water divide in the eastern central part of the valley. However, this particular borehole reflects water level condition similar to the shallow ground water aquifer in spite of its depth, thus proving that infiltration of the deep ground water takes place up the hillslopes.

The shallow aquifer behaves about in the same way as the one at Tumbi. The fluctuations of the water table are very small in spite of rainfall. There are visible variations of a few decimeters in boreholes 5-315 and 5-316, (see Figure 6.58 ) using the results of the ground water levels from boreholes 5-314, 5-315, 5-316, 5-318 and 5-213 a contour map of the shallow ground water has been drawn (see Figure 6.59). The contour map is valid for the month of April; by that time the area around the outlet point to the north was flooded and the shallow ground water level coincides with the ground level +1151 m a.s.l.

The ground water situation at the outlet point BHs 5-108 (124/78) 5-210 (190/78) and 5-317 is quite interesting. The three boreho1es all reach different depths and all show different ground water levels. See Figure 6.58.

The deep boreho1e 5-108 (124/78) reflects the deep ground water as in BH 5-109 (125/78) presenting the same artesian conditions and fluctuations and the same chemical composition. 5-210 (190/78) and 5-317 show ground water levels aaout 10 m b.g.l. with a difference of one meter between them obviously reflecting pressures heads of different layers of the ground water separated by impermeable or semi permeable layers thus effecting

·a hydraulic disconnection. According to the dr411ing observa­tions there are several coarse grained layers which we consider are more or less separated aquifers. When studying Figure 6. one sees a sudden rise of the ground water level at BH 5-317 sometimes about the 20th of March. This could be a refill of an

aquifer about 10 m b.g.l. Sometimes in the middle of April this water has reached the lower aquifer of BH 5-210 (190)78) implying a 0.6 m rise in the ground water level. Assumed that the increase due to the same percolating water there is a percolating velocity of 34 m in 28 days which means a rate of a 1 ittle more than one meter/day.

The ground water conditions are described by the existence of the a sealing layer effectively separating the surface layers from deeper lying layers. The intervening clayey silty layers leads to very little recharge of the deeper aquifer through layers. Further up the hill a lateritic layer plays a similar role. The recharge of the deep lying aquifer takes place from the edges of the valley where the sealing from intermediate layers is not complete.

2.2.4 Comments on the Extracts from the Computed Maps; Nata Representative Area

For comparison with known conditions at Nata representative area extracts from the computed maps of ground water potential, geology structures, land form and land surface are presented. In the following the results will be discussed.

General

Nata representative area is situated about in the middle of the computer extracts. The lxl km blocks which concern the area are marked on the maps. However, as can be seen in all 8 blocks are marked while the basin in reality occupies only about 5 km 2 , which means that the basin only occupies parts of some of the blocks.

Ground Hater Potenti a 1

The computed yield map shows possibilities to extract 3-4 m /h at the outlet of the valley in the north. The two deep boreholes 124/78 and 125/78 produced 2.3 m /h and 4.0 m /h respectively which consequently agrees well with the computed yields. Further to the south there are possibil ities to obtain higher yields, 9-12 m /h. This depends on the presence of the contact zone between the granite to the south and the Nyanzian bedrock types to the north. The structures type lineaments actual to the extracted map has been shown and it might he noted that they imply an about 100% increase of the yields.

Geology

The geology map shows granite to the south, laterite in the middle and alluvium to the north. The distribution of the blocks agree well with the field observations, compare the photos.

Land Form

The land form map coincides well with the geology. The granite blocks to the south are pediment undifferentiated, the laterite blocks in the middle have been mapped peneplane and the two alluvium blocks to the north have become floodplain.

Land Surface

The southern part is occupied by village land and woodland while scrub and grassland are found in the north. Compare the photos.

CHAPTER 3 GROUND WATER POTENTIAL IN TABORA REGION

In this Chapter the waterbearing capacities of the different geological formations are discussed. The geology and the structural pattern of the region are described in Volume 8. In that chapter the formations are grouped in socalled mapping units which have been coded for the computer treatment. The list of these units is given below:

Basic Description

Mapped as one geological unit

(more than 5 m deep) (Laterite soils and murrum with pisolite laterite)

(Mudstone, shale, phyllite, sandstones)

(Marble, quartzite, graphitic schist, chloritic amphibolitic kyanite schists etc.)

(Quartzite, phyllite, conglomerate, sandstone, banded ironstone, mica-schists, acid volcanics etc.)

(Gneiss, schist, etc.) , (Foliated gneissic granite, microgranite, granbdiorite)

The first part of this chapter describes "the deep ground water" i.e. the aquifers in the overburden and the bedrock which preferably can be exploited by drilling boreholes through the waterbearing formation.

The second part is dealing with the socalled shallow ground water. The denomination shallow ground Ivater has been chosen only to describe the aquifers that supply the shallow wells which are dug by hand, the oldest and most common way to artificially catch the surface water, penetrating and percolating in the overburden and in particular the uppermost portion of the overburden.

It should be stressed upon that the distinction by using the terms shallow and deep is based upon the method of exploitation • Thus the shall ow well s in the region usually have been dug down to 3-5 m and they are sel dam deeper than 8 m. So generally the exploitation of the shallow aquifers is limited to 0-10 m below ground level. However, some of the exploitable shallow parts are deeper and the water supply can be enhanced by drilling shallow boreholes down to 20-25 m in some instances •

The span of the shallow ground water or wells can be 0-20 m and the span of the deep ground water or wells everything below 20 m. The limits depend upon which horizon is giving the greatest amount of water i.e. when drilling a borehole in a valley the water inflow usually increases below 15 m and a common water struck zone is the transition between the overburden and the weathered bedrock which very often is found between 20 and 30 m below ground level •

3.1 Aquiferous Properties of the Hydrogeo10gical Units Relevant to Deep Boreho1es

Unit 1: Mbuga clay, alluvium

The denomination of this unit is a bit strange being a mixture of a material of a particular grain size, and the general term for material transported and deposited by streams. The reason for this classification is that on the geological maps the region is to a great extent covered by the socalled clayey deposits which cover the flat lands and has the Swahili name mbuga. The mbuga i~ usually of alluvial origin and covers in the valleys alluvial silty sandy gravelly deposits i.e. the alluvium in the unit name.

As an aquifer the mbuga (clay, silty sangy clay etc.) is poor the permeability being usually less than 10- m/sec. On the other hand the alluvium (silt, sand~ gravel) exposes permeabilities ranging between 10-8 and 10- 1 m/sec or higher if the material is coarse. The alluvium is usually found in the central part of the valley fill and thus the waterbearing, comparatively porous material can reach thicknesses over 5 m. The thickness of the overlying clayey sediments varies depending upon the local condi­tions. In wide valleys with a low gradient where the conditions during the sedimentation have usually been calm the thicknesses of the clayey sediments is larger than in narrow valleys with higher gradients. The records of the eXisting boreholes and the record of the WMP boreho1es together with the result of the geophysical investigations have given a statistical estimate for an average figure of the depth of alluvial deposit in the valleys as 30 m. The standa rd devi ati on is 6 m.

Unit 2: Lacustrine Deposits

The 1 acustrine deposits occupy the pa rt northeastern f1 at1 and of the Igunga District. See the geological map in Volume 8. Accord­ing to earl ier drill ings and some gravel pits these sediments consist from the top of calcareous depOSits, half consolidated si1tstones intercalating with layers of clay here and there sili­cified. This half consolidated top1ayer has a thickness varying between 10 and 20 m in different locations. In the deeper portions of the f1atland these deposits are covered by black si1ty clay or clayey silt, the socal1ed black cotton soil which some­times reaches a thickness of 2-3 m and more. Below the calcareous sediments a series of silty cl ay and sandy sediments follows. The latter is probably half consolidated towards the bottom and resting upon the Nyanzian formation.

Considering the drilling carried out (there are very few existing boreholes and only two successful WMP ones, 160 and 169/78) show that the formati on usually does not offer sati sfactory aquifers. The water is usually salty and hence the area is considered to be less promising for ground water supply. It should be mentioned that fresh water can be found in the shallow aquifers in the calcareous deposits as for instance at Sakamaliwa but the capacity of these aquifers seems to be small. In the big valleys of Manonga and Wembere the depths to bedrock are more than 100 m but in the plateauland and southwest of these valley the depths do not exceed 100 m.

Unit 3: Deep Residual Soil and Laterites

This group of soils comprise insitu weathered and short trans­ported material which usually is found on higher portions of the valleys and lowlands than the alluvial sediments. To this group the common lateritic formation belongs for instance the socalled hardpan or murrum which is described in the geology chapter in Volume 8.

The two units 1 and 3 can intercalate with each other and it is sometimes difficult to diffferentiate them in the transition zones. A very common lithology is where alluvial sediments cover residual material. Many borehole profiles bear witness of this condition for instance the boreholes in the valleys around Uramba and Tumbi (SH 66/78, 67/78, 68/78 and 106/78). A borehole which possibly exposes a more pure residual soil profile is 181/78 as well as 1/79.

Unit 4: Bukoban

This formation is found in the westermost part of the region. No field investigation has been carried out here because the outcrops and possible borehole sites are located in remote and almost inaccessible areas. According to the photointerpretation the formation occurs as flat plateaus with step slopes outcropping west of the railroad Kaliua-Mpamba. The bedrock is interpreted as a sandstone which probably is quartzitic. Earlier investigations in the same formation in the West Lake Region have shown that the quartzitic horizon can be interlayered by schists and dolerite sills.

The formation has exposed comparatively good waterbearing properties. In the Biharamulo area yiel ds of 5-10 m /hr (1.4 -2.8 x 10-3 m /sec were observed. The values of yields coincide

.. with information given in the publications "Hydrogeology of Tanzania Mainland, East Africa" by W.S. Lyimo, 1977.

Unit 5: Ubendian

This formation covers the southwestermost part of the region, that is mainly the vast flatland of the Ugalla river valley. Very few outcrops coul d be found here by the photo interpretati on and the accessability is the same here as for the Bukoban formation. Also for practical reason this area, being a forest and game reserve, could be looked upon as a less preferential subject than the habi­tated zones. The bedrock is here highly metamorphic and consists of gneisses, schists of different kinds, marble etc. The water potential of this type of bedrock is usually rather low. According to the publicatton mentioned above the yields reach about 2.0 x 10 -3 m 3 /sec. However the i nformati on is based upon rather few examples which seem to originate from the Masasi area in southeastern Tanzania.

The characteristic permeability for this formation with its high variation of bedrock is difficult to calculate but is here estimated to 4.0 x 10 -6 m3/sec.

Uni t 6: Nyanzi an

This formation occupies the northeastern areas of the region. Outcrops and the characteristic reddish soil originating from the weathered bedrock are found from the northwestern part of the Nzega district to the northern and central part of the Igunga district. The banded ironstone which usually is building up the central part of the ridges is not that frequent here as for instance in the Mwanza region. However the higher ridges seem to consist of ironstone' but the lower portions are built up by shales, schists and quartzites. The ironstone is a poor aquifer but the schistose and quartzitic parts of the formation seem to be comparatively promising in this area in combination with the overburden. Thus boreholes in the Nata area and at Nyandekwa have shown that the sedimentary bedrocks offer rather good waterbearing properties. It is possible thilt the obviously rather flat bedding of the laminated part of the series here is favorable for the catching and carrying of the water i.e. building up aquiferous zones along more porous and jointed layers. Naturally weakness zones, faults and joints, which are intersecting the layered bedrock increase the capabilities of the waterbearing bedding planes portions.

Unit 7: Dodoman

The bedrocks belonging to the Dodoman formation are considered to be the oldest in Tanzania and are metamorphic, gneisses and sChists, i.e. old sediments. It covers the central and southern part of the region and the boundary towards the granites is more or less striking from southeast and towards northwest

diagonally over the region. The schistose gneissic bedrock in itself usually is not a very promising aquifer but along weakness zones a borehole can give better yields better than in a granitic area.

The outcome of the boreholes drilled in the gneisses or gneissic granites for instance in Urambo can be considered as good.

Within this series of bedrock the influence of the weathering is important. It is obvious that the frequency of the weathering increases along joints, faults, transition zones between different types of the bedrock and in schistose zones (see also Unit 8: Granite 1 •

Unit 8: Granite

The granitic formation exposes a variation between the granites, i.e. isotropiC masses with no visible parallel orientation of minerals and the gneissic granites, foliated and with bands of oriented minerals. The bedrock mass is dense and has a low permeability. The disposition for cracking of the granitic bedrock is initially depending upon the orientation of the minerals in the isotropic mass which gives the characteristic almost cubic or rectangular joint structure in the outcrops. Due to the releasing of the pressure the structure is more accentuated close to and at the ground surface. The tectonic movements enhance the initial ·cracks· forming faultzones and jointzones.

The joint- and faultzones are as always exposed to the weathering agencies which to a certain extent increases the possibility of promising aquifers. The weathering of granite and granitic bedrock in a certain phase creates clay minerals which can seal the porous zones in the bedrock. However, it is clear that the weathered parts and the jOintzones in the bedrock are creating the aquifers. The values of yields and permeability in this report thus refer to jointed and weathered bedrock.

It shoulti be mentioned here that the dolerites have' not been looked upon as a separate unit. The permeability of the fresh dense dolerite is almost same as or lower than the one of the granite. The weaterbearing zones in the dolerites are the jointzones and the contact zone with country rock such as granites is usually in itself a poor aquifer. This result is charac­teristic for all dolerite dykes found in this part of Tanzania. Thus similar conditions were found in the Mwanza Region. However, the grani te close to the dol erite sometimes seems to have been affected by the dyke intrusion which has resul ted in an increased joint frequency as well as deposition towards weathering. Possibility to drill inclined boreholes should enhance the proba­bil ity to find the waterbearing zones at the dolerite dykes.

3.2 Control of Ground Water Levels

In order to investigate the variation of the groundwater level in different parts in the region some boreholes were controlled from the beginning of the field work in May 1978 and to the end of the project in March 1979.

The control began with an existing borehole in Urambo District No. 3/69 and continued with the WMP boreholes as they were drilled starting with BH 66/78 in Uramba Village, Tabora District. The following list shows the boreholes and the type of bedrock and overburden in each case,see table 6.7. '

It should be mentioned that in the description of the represent­tative areas, Chapter 2. the ground water situation within these areas is discussed in detail.

The results are recorded in diagrams. See Fig. 6.60, 6.61, 6.62, 6.63.

Following comments on the results can be made:

For the boreholes 66/78 and 67/78, where the aquifer is located mainly in the overburden and the upper weathered part of the granitic bedrock, the water level in all follows the yearly variation of the precipitation. After May the level in 66/78 is sinking about 0.5 m and the level is fairly constant to the end of November after the rains have started. Then the level is rising again about 0.5-0.8 m during December and remains at that level during the wet season. BH 67/78 shows the same picture but the increase after November is much more accentuated the level going up from about 4 m to 0.5 m below top casing in December.

Boreho1e 68/78 is showing the same variation but the rythm is slower as the water level is going down in June and then rises slowly in February •. The delayed reaction depends upon that the aquifer mainly is located to the jointed bedrock.

This condition is more accentuated in the borehole 105/78 where the water infl ow is low and enti rely recorded in the bedrock. The water movements are small varying between 0.4-0.5 m and the level is not sinking until August and is slowly rising again during December-January. In boreho1e 106/78 where the control did not start before August, the level was rising from 14 m to 13 m from August to September and was then almost constant during the rest of the field period. The downward peak in November is probably an error in the measurement. As the water level is almost constant during the rainy season the waterbearing conditions seem to be slow but stable.

The two boreho1es 137/78 and 144/78, also drilled in granitic bedrock and with the inflow recorded only in the bedrock, indicate similar conditions as were found in for instance the borehole 105/78. The reaction of the precipitation is very slow as the water level is going down both in the boreho1es only during November and is then very stabl e for the rest of the peri od. The boreho1es 7/78 and 3/69 which both are drilled in granitic and gneissic areas as well show a delayed reaction on the precipi­tation. However it seems to be faster in 3/69 than in 7/78 as the level is sinking after May from 0.5 m down to about 3 m in October and is then constant to February when it is moving upwards again. The measuring period is shorter in BH 7/78 but is showing the same tendency but with smaller variation.

Unfortunately there is only one boreho1e recorded in the Nyanzian formation No. 124/78 at Nata. The tendency is here that the water level reacts rather quickly after the dry period as it is rising from 4 m in September to 1 m in November andi s very stable for the rest of the ra i ny peri ods. It shou1 d be menti oned that the boreho 1 e 125/78 exposed almost artesian conditions the water level being at the ground level or sl ight1y above the ground level (in the casing) throughout the period.

.Conc1 usi on

The investigations have shown that the aquifers in the region with few exceptions are complex and that the .Yields are the result of the combined waterbearing properties of the overburden and the bedrock. Thus the grouping of the aquifers resu1 te-d finally in only three big units of aquifers: Deep residual soil s, -alluvial soil sand structures.

The two overburden units include the UP~r weathered portion of the bedrock whi ch is looked upon as a transiti on zone hard to define as overburden or bedrock.

The aquiferous properties of the bedrock are determined by the frequency of joints and faults.

The frequency of 1 ayered bedrock which can offer aquiferous porous laminated horizons is not that high in the region so it can affect the dominance of the structures as enhancement of aquifers in the bedrock. The two overburden units are here called the main aquifer. The characteristic of the units is given in the following table. 6.8.

It is cl ear that the 1 ake sediments and t.he Nyanzi an "core bedrock", the banded ironstone, are poor aquifers Considering both the frequency of waterbearing zones and as for the Lake sediment, the water qual ity. The structures, joints and faults creating valleys - catchment areas increase always the aquiferous properties. Thus, the low frequency of structures in the northeastern part as well as in the southern-southwestern part of the region makes it d,ifficult to define and survey the aquifers in these parts of the region. However the interpretation of the airborne geophysics can offer an opportunity to solve the problem at least in the southern and southwestern part of the region.

Deep Ground Water Potential Estimates

The calculations made for the determination of the groundwater potential are based on informations gathered from the existing boreholes, WMP boreholes, geophysical investigation geological and landform surveys and finally the estimations of recharge within the different climatic zones.

Basic Calculation, Deep Ground Water

The problem that must be solved is how to estimate the yields to be expected from well sited boreholes. This is an extremely difficult question and the answer we provide here should be considered a first approximation. As ground water is exploited in the region the basis for these estimates can be improved. We have sought to establish a connection between the yield and the basic hydrogeological conditions which would permit estimates of the yields. The usual approach to these estimates involves identification of the type of aquifer and then links the hydrogeological conditions to the yield in a manner dependent upon this aquifer type.

If one uses a confined aquifer then the steady state yield equations require specification of the radius of influence of the well. There seemed to be no useful way to estimate this. Furthermore, in the conditions typical of Tabora where one is dealing with aquifers in rocky conditions the water available for pumping is precipitated in the vicinity of a borehole. As we know something about this recharge potential of the ground water it was decided that we should consider the aquifer 'as unconfined over a long period.

Thus to establish a yield equation we assume a steady state, isotropic, fully penetrating well, recharge, non-confined aquifer. Essentially this means we calculate how much water can be extracted indefinitely from the aquifer i.e. without "mining". The rainfall?n any particular year may be high or low while the extraction rate from the borehole is constant; thus the ground water reservoir serves to smooth out the difference between recharge and extraction. We take the aquifer to be unconfined as the best approximation to the actual conditions. If a more or less confined aquifer prevails the sealing layer is given such a low permeability that it does not effect the calculations but still allows us to use the equation val id for unconfined conditions. We, are averaging over the year, there is always 'downward movement of the water and the ground water reservoirs are presumably full, so the unconfined aquifer with recharge is a plausible approximation. To understand this argument, we reiterate that the well behavior is meant to be averaged over long periods. The areas considered are typically one square kilometer so we believe we are usually including the recharge area even when the ground immediately around the borehole is impermeable.

To obtain the maximum extraction we want to obtain the maximum practical drawndown. This maximum drawdown allowed is defined by the depth of the borehole (H) with an allowance for the pump and for head loss due to turbulence. For H given, we can determine the maximum drawdown as a function of O.

Then the above equation is solved for Q, the extraction rate. This is the basic calculation done for each geology class (i.e. aquifer type) in each square kilometer block in the region.

We now proceed to estimate th parameters H, s , and K under different conditions, investigate the sensitiijity of the equation to various parameter changes and then compare the actual test results with the computed results. We have analyzed the data to obtain an overall consistency of results. Then we have used the results of the parameter estimates to determine the potential yields in every square kilometer of the region.

SpeCification of H

It should be kept in mind that H is the sum of the thickness of the aquifer and the distance from the ground to the static water level. Apart from existing boreholes and WMP boreholes (see below), data from geophysical profiles, especially the long profile program Volume 7, Section 3.5 have been used. In this way it has been pos$ible. to estimate a value for all eight geology cl asses. Th~ estimated H = "Depth of Overburden" for each of the geology classes is shown in Table 6.9.

Irregularities of the bedrock, i.e. structures will increase H considerably with major effects on the ground water potential. The structures have been divided into two groups:

A. Lineaments: Comprising jointzones, weakness zones and contact zones between different kinds of bedrock. These features can be

"recognized on air photos but are often difficult to distinguish from each other. They imply often a magnetic anomaly and increased thickness of weathered bedrock in the central part of a valley or in the close vicinity of it. Drilling for water in these zones means increased yields in most cases. When lineaments are present H have been doubled.

Faults: These features comprise a movement of one part of the bedrock in relation to another causing a displacement in more or less vertical direction. The movements cause cracking and decomposition of the bedrock which imply enhanced weathering in those zones. Faultlines are in general quite extensive and can be followed several kilometers through the landscape. They often have a damming and draining effect on the ground water which makes them in general good aquifers. However the position of the faultlines in the landscape implies often that the groundwater levels are found comparatively deep. When faults are present the value of H are increased two or four times depending on the geology class see Table 6.9.

Specification of K

Permeability (K) estimates are obtained from the well test data. The well test gives an estimate of the transmissivity. Also transmissivity is equal to k x thickness of aquifer (HB - S or H-S ) (it can be noted that the upper limit S of the 0 aquifeP sometimes is equal to the static water 19vel). If there is no structure the thickness is equal to the depth to bedrock which sometimes includes the uppermost weathered part of the bedrock. If there is a structure the total transmissivity of the borehole is considered as follows i.e. transmissivity of the aquiferous overburden - weathered zone + transmissivity of the structure zone +transmissivity of the remaining nonaquiferous part of the borehole.

The permeability values obtained from the well tests were compared with the total sum of the permeabilities of the different aquiferous layers as they are given in the basic information above. The permeability values are here collected partly from reference literature (column 1l partly from well test results (column 2).

Specifications of So

The estimation of static water levels have been based upon data from representative areas,existing-and WMP boreholes. To some extent contribution has been obtained from geophysical profiles. The static water level for each geology class has been estimated to between 4 and 9 m. The last depth is thought being valid for 1acustrine areas. The presence of faults means a lower ground water table because of the fact that the compara­tively coarse material which appears in connection with this feature is situated fairly high when comparing the surroundings.

In the drawdown equation it is the difference H-s that matters. As s is usually small compared to H a 9arge error in So has rela~ively little impact on the estimated yield.

Specifications of W

The potenti al in Volume 4. land use.

ground water recharge is calculated as described It is a function of climate zone, land form, and

The meaning of the potential ground water recharge is that it is the volume of water which would go down to the ground water reservoir if there was room for it! If the reservoir is full then the water cannot percolate and will appear as run off. However, as ground water exploitation continues and the amount of water increases then one makes room for increased recharge. That is why we call this estimate the potential recharge. However, this means that the actual recharge is variablft accordin·g to the amount of pumping. For calculation pul'poses it is correct to use the potential ground water recharge as this defines the water actually available.

The parameters ro and C

There are two remaining parameters necessarily to solve the well equation. Those are the following constants:

The radius of the well r o

r = 0.075 (m) (radius of 6" casing)

The well loss constant:

c = 3.5 x 106 2 5 (sec /m )

Thi s val ue is an average fi gure obtained from the well test calculations.

In Table 6.10. we give the parameters for the three cases of: no structure, lineaments, and faults. The~ using these . parameters we have calculated the yield (m /hr) for the eight geology classes for two characteristic recharge rates 50 mm and 200 mm. This table indicates the range of yields we believe can be achieved in Tabora in different aquifer conditions. Examination of this table shows clearly the importance of drilling on faults or lineaments if these c3n be located. Yields without structu§es are less than 5 m /hr (this corresponds to 50-60 m /day). Typically yields increase 2-3 times if the borehole can be sited properly. This indicates why it is worthwhile to invest substantial resources in the careful siting of boreholes using geophysical and remote sensing. This table also indicates the very poor ground water prospects in the lacustrine deposits which from these estimates have very little prospect to yield usable volumes of ground water.

Evaluation of Parameters of the Well Equation

As the well equation is quite complicated an evaluation of the different factors has been carried out. The most interesting one is undoubtedly the yield Q and in the following Q the effect of changes in the different factors belonging to the formula has been investigated. The parameters have been allowed to vary within reasonable limits.

A. Yield vs Permeability and Structures

The study has been carried out with parameters belonging to geology Cl ass 7 and the results plotted in Fi gure 6.6'5.

An interesting fact is that the yield increases from greater permeabiliti~s only up to a particular limit. That limit is about at 10 m/s, slightly higher in the case of "without structure" • Note that no _~nhancement of the yi el ds are obtained at permeabilities over 10 m/so The permeabilities used for the regional yield-map are specially marked on each curve.

T~e presence of structure increases the yield substantially. Presence of a lineament means an increase of about 50% at high permeabilities and still more at lower. A fault increases the yield more than 100% at high permeability and as much as 10 times at lower permeabi1ities. This effect depends largely on the increased H value. Variations of the static water level s affect the yield very little. o

These results indicate that the choice of permeability for structures is robust and yields will not change for errors of a factor of 10. For the non-structure case the yields are more sensitive to this assumptions. A factor of 2 in the permeability will change the yield by 30%.

B. Yield at Varying Recharge W

In order to check the effect on different recharge yields were calculated at the recharges of 50 mm/y and 200 mm/y. The effect of this manipulation is shown in Table 6.10. It is obvious that differences in recharge have little or no influence on the yield. Small differences are found at cases of low yield and no structures where an increase of about 10% was obtained in a few cases. Consequently, we conclude that the yield estimates are robust with respect to the, potenti a1 recharge.

C. Yield vs Well-Diameter

The relationship between yield and well diameter was studied in geology class 2 lacustrine area at the case of no structures. The following result was obtained.

The relationship is linear and an increase in well-diameter does not improve the yield to any greater extent. This particular geology case was investigated to determine if it was possible to increase yields significantly by larger diameter boreholes - the answer is that it helps but not enough to make the ground water prospects interesting.

D. Yield vs Well-Loss-Factor C

In order to see the effect of different well-loss-factors on the yield the former was allowed to vary within limits which were collected from earlier conducted well tests at the Tri-Region WMP. The following results were achieved.

Varying the pumping head gives the following result:

PH Cm) Yield ~/h 1.0 3.3 2.0 3.2 3.0 3.1 4.0 3.0 5.0 2.9

The calculations were carried out by means of parameters in geology Class 7 at a recharge of 50 mm/y •. The result shows a slow decrease of the yield. Experience has shown that a convenient and safe pump head is 3 m.

Conclusions

The evaluation of the well equation at which different para­meters have been allowed to vary one or a few together at a time the following can be stated: the recharge W, the well diameter 2r , the well-loss-factor C and the static water level s ha~e little or no effect on the yield. The pumping headoPH should be kept at 3 m for saf~5Y reasons. The permeability have importance at low values_~ 10 m/s but practically no influence at values> 10 m/so The most important parameter is H which at reasonable positions of static water level s determines the aquifer thickness. 0

Control of the Computed Yield Map with Data from Existing Boreholes

In order to check that the computed map is relevant to known conditions, those blocks which contain existing boreholes with data on the yields have been extracted from the computed map and shown in the attached list. Only those borehole have been used that carried information on the yields at least by means of an airlift-test. Those yields have been compared to those,yields obtained by estimating the permeabilities from the lithology and calculated by means of all known parameters for a particular borehol e whi ch appear in the well equati on. Fi gure 6:67 shows the relationship between the two yie'lds obtained in this manner. One sees that the values are fairly well assembled around the line indicating 100% agreement. Column ° in Table 6.11 are the yields derived from the computed map. YThe relationship between the computed yield Q and O? is shown in Diagram 6.68 ,between ° and 01 anciY03 (sp!!cially marked) is shown in Di agram y 6.'169.

Comments to the Relationships

Look i ng at the Di agrams Fi g. 6.68-69 one sees tha t many values are quite spread out and apart from the ideal line. Those of the values which are mostly apart from the line are either high-yielding boreholes situated within a block where the computed map shows low yield and vice versa. In all those cases there are structures involved. In the first

case the drilling has hit a structure which does not show on the earth's surface implying that they are not mapped. Note that in most of these cases there is an adjacent structure block carrying a yield comparative to the borehole. The opposite case when the computed map indicates high yield and the borehole performs a poor yield the structure might have been missed. In the following section where the computed yield map is commented district by district the drillings versus the computed yields are further discussed.

However, in general the above results indicate a good result using the yield equation when the lithology of the borehole is known following the drilling. Agreement between computed map and existing boreholes is fair to good. If we include the 3 x 3 kilometer block formed by taking the adjacent blocks into account then we find the correspondence quite good. In our view thi s accurately refl ects the accuracy of our abil ity to pl ace structure locations on the computer map.

Comments on the Computed Yield Maps

Genera 1

In the following section the computed yield map will be discussed and compared to known conditions district by district. Figure 6.70 is a region map compiled from the district maps and diminished to present a convenient overall view of the region. In the last part of the section we provide a village list where the highest yielding block has been given within a circle of 3 km from each village center. "Number" in the map legend refers to number of lxl km blocks wi~hin each yield class; "upper/lower" limits g~ve the interval in m /s, corresponding to the marked values in m/h.

A. Igunga and Nzega Districts

The two districts being shown on the same map Fig. 6.71 will be commented together.

There is a striking resemblance.between the geology map and the yield map which of course would be expected with the methodology employed. To the north are the nyanzian formations which present in general mod~rate yields; the most common block to the northwest yields 3-4 m /h. Four boreholes carrying informa­tion on the yield are drilled in this part: 124/78 WMP 5-108, 125/78 WMP 5-109, 62/72, 23/60 and 111/70. The two first ones belong to the Nata representative area and are discussed in Chapter 2 2f this volume. 62/72 and 23/60 dischargi2g 2.7 (01) 4.0 (O?) m /h see Table 6.11 .and 3.2 (0,) 3.6 (02) m /h 3 respectively agree well with the computed yield§ of 4 and 3 m /h respe3tively. Borehole 111/70 discharged 6.2 m /h by airlift ~nd 5.0 m /h calculated from lithology; and computed map reads 3 m/h.

To the northeast are the vast areas of lacustrine deposits of large thickness. The chances for high deep ground water yields here are extremely small and drillings here is thus very haza rdous.

Leaving the nyanzian area and the lacustrine deposits and going towards the south the granite area is entered. The most striking features are the high yield blocks in compliance with the structures mostly running in southeast northwesterly direction. The most prominent one is the faultline associated with the Kagongo basin which runs from north to south in the middle of the map. A carefully sited borehole !n one of those structure blocks produces between 9 and 15 m/h.

A few attempts have been made to drill on the structures: 10/79 WMP 5-118, 15/79 WMP 5-119, 42/79 WMP 5-121 and 1/79 WMP 5-117.

The drilling of 10/79 obvio~sly missed the structured as the yield remained at about 3 m /h only. The yield situation around that particular block where the borehole is situated looks as follows.

434 4 11 11 11 11 4

The yield of the borehole 10/79 agrees consequently better with that of the block to the north, see also the description of resistivity profile 6-116, Volume 7.

The boreholes 15/79 and 42/79 are both situated in the same block, see description of resisti~ity profile 6-116, Volume 7. The two holes produce~ 2 and 10 m /h respectively and the block "promised" 15 m /h. The drillings were carried out after fairly extensive geophysical investigations and a few attempts were made before a high yielding hole was obtained. The situation emphasizes the need of careful preinvestigations and perhaps a few attempts of drilling before obtaining a high yielding borehole in these types of formations.

Boreholes 1/79 WMP 5-117 managed to hit a structure by means of geophysical investigations; see description of Seismic profile 6-209 Volume 7. The c~mputed map promises 11 m /h; airlift t~st of 1/79 gave 13 m /h and well test a safe yield of 6.8 m /h (however, this latter result is a limit of the pump capacity rather than the aquifer). Apart from the structures the granitic areas of the middle and southern parts of3Nzega and Igunga districts produces yields ran~ing from 2 to 5 m/h. Borehole 148/78 discharged about 2 m /h with the following situation around it:

440 3 0 0 3 0 0

Borehole 267/76 was drilled in a 4 m3/h block but hit obviously a structure which is visible only at the adjacent bloc§s to the west and southwest. The borehole discharged about 14 m /h at the following situation.

Urambo District (Figure 6.72)

The major part of Urambo District carries granitic and gneissic bedrock which produces fairly moderate yields 3-4 m3/h. A few boreho1es produce yields of about the same magnitude as the computed:

BH No. Location Ql .Qz .9.4 computed

143/76 Igaga1a 6.8 6.5 4 130/75 Igaga1a 4.5 6.8 4 47/73 Urambo 5.7 7.6 4 Structure according

BH 64 U1yanku1u 6.5 6.8 4 BH 42 U1yanku1u 2.3 2.8 4 BH 40 U1yanku1u 1.2 2.8 3.8

To the west of the district when entering the vast alluvial plains the yields decrease considerably.

The most interesting formations from ground water pOint of view are undoubtedly as previously discussed, the structures. The district is intersected by several lineaments most of them running in southwest northeasterly direction and increasing the possible yields at least two times. Unfortunately none of the existing boreho1es have managed to hit any of'the structures.

BH 12/76 was drilled in a structure block promising 10 m3/h but obviously missed the lineament as the yield stayed at 4 m3/h. The situation around the boreho1e looks as follows:

10 4 3 4 10 4 4 10 10

The opposite situation can be studied at BH 32/66 which was drilled in a 3 m3/h block. However the borehole produced 10-13 m3/h. In this case there is a structure block in the northeast which obviously continues to the southwest but invisibly on the ground surface.

The yield of BH 70/74 at Uyowa is an example of the presence of structures invisible on the ground surface and consequently not mapped. In this case there are no structure blocks at all in the vicinity of the actual block which promises 4 m3/h. The borehole 70/74 yielded about 12 m3/h. The situation shows that all structures are not necessarily visible on the ground surface and hence mapped in this investigation. It is possible to find additional waterbearing formations but one have in general to spend more efforts on preinvestigations to be able to carry out a successful drilling.

C. Tabora District (Figure 6.73 and 6.74)

The area of the Tabora district is so big that it has been divided into two maps Tabora district (north) and Tabora district (south). The northern part of the district shows great similarities with the southern parts of Nzega and Igunga districts.

The granitic and gneissic areas continues from the north yielding between 2 and 5 m3/h. A few boreholes indicate that the computed yields are in the right magnitude:

A few boreholesproduce less yield than the computed for that particular block. In these cases the block is surrounded by low yield blocks:

Yield 1.1 m3/h 0 4 0 4 4 0 4 0 3

BH 238/74 Tumbi yield 1.1 m3/h:

The yields of the three last boreholes are much lower than promised but the presence of low yield blocks around the actual one may serve as a warning for siting in the particular area unless careful preinvestigations are carried out.

One special problematic area seems to be that peneplanized landscape west of Sikonge where the ground water situation seems not very promising. Deep ground water exploitation there takes a lot of preinvestigations.

The intrusive rocks of the district have been intersected by several dykes and disturbed by fau lts. There is no doubt that those features are the main sources for extraction of deep ground water. Presence of a lineament increases the yield about twice while a faultline makes it possible to obtain about three times the "norma 1" yi el d.

The most important structure is the continuation towards south of the faultline causing the Kagongo basin. There are also several tectonic movements associated with this fault causing lineaments and minor faults mainly to the east of the Kagongo­fault. Apart from this complex there are several lineaments and minor faults e.g. west of Sikonge, which might serve as targets for deep ground water drilling.

Village List (Appendix 1)

In order to ease the interpretation of the yeild map an appendix has been prepared where all villages in Tabora region have been listed. The computer has been programmed to select the optimum yield block within a §ircle of 3 km from the village center. The yields are given in m/day (24 hours).

Values given e.g. 6.2998E-03 means 6.3xlO-3 m3/day and in practice no deep groundwater available.

The columns to the right give the UTM for the actual block.

Geological and Hydrogeological Report on Shallow Dug Wells

This section reviews the geological and hydrogeological results of the shallow well investigations. In Volume 3 the survey results as to aquifer types, reli.ability, geology and land class were presented. To investigate in more detail the hydrogeology pump tests were carried out on thirty three wells. The results of this work are reported herein.

For shallow wells investigations the land classes used in the Water Master Plan have been combined into the following categories:

a. Filled valleys (Land class, alluvial deposits) b. Lateritic horizon (deep soils) c. Deep residual soil horizon (deep soils) d. Shallow residual soil horizon (shallow soils) e. Lacustrine deposits (lacustrine deposits) f. Weathered rocks (shallow soils)

The shallow aquifers with greatest potential in this region are situated in the filled valleys. These valleys are filled up with quaternary sediments consisting of silty clay to sand. They exhibit some geomorphological as well as certain other advantages over the other land classes, which are indicative of greater groundwater potential. These valleys occur at locallY the topographically lowest level and thereby possess the advantage of accumulating surface run-off for per­colation into the aquifer. The top soil is usually silty loam to sand-loam which is more pervious for vertical perco­lation of surface run-off. The most promising shallow wells were encountered in this horizon at Usoke Railway.Station, Kaliua Railway Station, Sikonge (Tabora district) and Mwangoye and Igusule (Nzega District). Most of these are fitted with diesel pumps and serve as water sources for moderately large scale water supply scheme. This formation is most favorable for the development of large diameter shallow dug wells. These filled valleys are widely distributed all over the region. Of course their size and shape are not uniform everywhere. These filled valleys are indicated in the land class map and geological map within the alluvial deposits. Atypical cross-section of the aquifer is given in Figure 6.75.

Of the 162 shallow wells inventoried, twenty wells were located in alluvial depOSits (Filled Valley). Out of these twenty wells, fourteen were selected for repeat water level measurements. The result of which is given subsequently.

This horizon is distributed in different parts of the region particularly Urambo district and south of Tabora district around Sikonge, Ipo1e and Chabutwa. A number of shallow wells were encountered in this horizon.

There are three types of 1aterite were encountered in region viz (a) hardcrust 1ateritic; (b) disintegrated (murrum type); and (c) 1ateritic clay. Hardcrust and disintegrated 1ateritic consists of sma:ll piso1itic modules of brown impure haematite and coarse quartz grains cemented together wi th 1 imoni te. Partially weathered pieces of the mother rock is often found associated with it. It is vesicular and water flows freely through it. In general disintegrated murrum 1aterite is more permeable than the hardcrust 1aterite. In some parts of the region, particularly around Iga1u1a (east of Tabora) a clayey 1ateritic horizon was encountered which is very sticky, plastic and permeability is very low. This clay horizon is not suitable for shallow well development.

In the Urambo district, in and around Itundu, Urambo, Kaliua, Igaga1a, Kazaroho, Igwisi, Kalemela and Urambo town the overburden generally consists of wide thickness succeeded by a fairly porous weathered bedrock. This formation is also encountered in and around Izimbili, Tumbi, Sikonge, Ipole, Chabutwa, Igalula and Upuge (Tabora district) and in and around Zogoro, Nata, Mywangowe, Bukene etc. (Nzega district). The water table in these areas generally follows the surface topography. In some parts of this region effluent seepages from the upland slopes form good ground water aquifers. These seepages percolate through laterite and along the weathered profile resulting in considerable discharge during the wet months.

Of the shallow wells inventoried, forty six wells were located in this horizon. Out of these twenty one were selected for repeat water level measurements.

The deep residual soil horizon consists mainly of sands, variable in composition, color and size. These sands are not generally well graded. Judged by the case of vertical infiltration this horizon is very promising. This class is distributed in different parts of this region as marked on the geological map.

Fifty three shallow wells were located in this horizon and nineteen wells were selected for repeat water level measurements.

Four wells were selected for pumping test. The average optimum yield is 0.024 m3/min (standard deviation 0.028 m3/min).

This horizon also consists of sands, variable in composition, color and size like the deep residual soil horizon. Only here the depth to bedrock is less than 5 m. In this horizon some of the wells are reported by the villagers to go dry during the dry months, (September to December). But during the course of present survey (April 1978 to April 1979) very few dry wells are found even during the driest months. This is probably due to high rainfalls during the years 1977-78, compared to previous years. Shallow residual soil horizon followed by uniformly weathered profile is more promising for ground water. This horizon has been demarked and shown in the land class map.

Forty two shallow wells were located in this horizon and twenty nine were selected for repeat water level measurements.

Northeastern part of this region (Igunga District) the areas in and around Igunga. Igurubi, Mbutu, Sakamaliwa, ~1vJamashinga, Itunduru are covered with lacustrine deposits. The whole surface is to a great extent covered with black cotton soil usually up to a depth of 1 m, followed by calcareous deposits such as highly fractured soils. Few shallow wells are found in this formation. There are five shallow wells around Sakamaliwa (Igunga District) - one is lined and the others are unlined. The depth of these shallow wells vary from 10 to 12 m below ground level and water table varies from 7 to 9 m below ground level. The main aquifer is impure limestone to calcrete which is highly jointed and fractured. Near Igurubi, there are about 100 water holes (shallow unlined wells) scattered over 1 Sq.k.l. area. The internal diameter varies from 0.5 to 1.0 m and the depth varies from 5 to 7 m below ground level. The aquifer is mainly calcareous sandy silty clay. Little seepage of water generally occur at the bottom of the well. People used to fetch 3 to 4 buckets (approximately 0.0035 to 0.004 m3) at a time and wait for one hour for recovery. The wells are some places located even 1 m apart. These series of wells are situated within the lacustrine deposits. These are the only two localities within the lacustrine deposits where we have encountered dug shallow wells, remaining parts of lacustrine deposits are completely devoid of any shallow well.

All the rock types have been subjected to strains due to tectonic causes and fissures have resulted. In the granite these fissures are in the nature of joints, generally at right angles to each other, trending NE-SW and NW-SE. Some places it is better developed than the other places. This jOinting in the granite store up under ground a considerable amount of water in its joint planes, but from the field evidence it has been observed that in many places, these joints have been sealed up with clay and secondary minerals due to weathering so as to become in­effective as underground water reservoirs. Generally, there are three sets of joints in the area under investigations: (i) vertical joints or tension joints; (ii) angular or longitudinal joints or sheer joints; and (iii) horizontal or secondary joints. Generally, vertical and angular jOints which yield water. Horizontal joints are generally filled up with secondary minerals. But inter­connected jOints are more promising and potential for ground water. Wide and deep joints are quite favorable as a good conduit for ground water movement and storage. These joints and fissures may hold considerable amount of water. But many areas in this region these joints and fissures have extended below the economic limit which is not favorable for shallow dug well sinking. In this region there are very few shallow wells in this horizon. Most of the cases this horizon is lying under the residual soil horizon or laterite regolith.

3.5 Pumping Test Methodology, Shallow Wells

There is practically no standard formula to determine the aquifer potential of shallow dug wells. All the standard procedures have some deficiencies to determine the optimum yield of large dug diameter shallow wells.

The practical problems to determine the aquifer potential of shallow dug wells are as follows:

a. No proper pump is available to control the yield as low capacity as per as 0.008 m3/min. Honda pump's capacity is 0.25 m3 to 0.4 m3/minute. So within a few minutes the pump empties the well.

b. Most of the unlined shallow wells are not of regular shape down to the bottom. Due to this irregularity, water stored in the well cannot be easily calculated.

It is not always practical to pump the well for few minutes at high capacity and wait till the water level to recover the original level. To overcome this practical problem it is necessary to determine the optimum yield of the shallow well.

Dr. Jasminko Karanjac*has established one method to calculate the optimum yield of the dug shallow wells, considering all the factors mentioned above 33 dug shallow wells were tested with a Honda pump (capacity 0.25 m3/min to 0.40 m3/min) in Tabora region. The pumped wells were chosen with respect to different land classes.

The Methodology is as follows:

The well is pumped at the available pump capacity. The pump discharge is measured and the pumping time noted in which a substantial drawdown is created in the well (or well emptied). The pump is then stopped the time needed for recharge to fi n up the well up to the original static water level is recorded (pre-pumping water level).

The volume of water that refills the well after the pump is stopped, Vrec, will be defined by the following equation:

Vrec = /R Qrec (t) dt " QR tR ............... (1) o

where:

Qrec (t)

tR

QR

is variable inflow into the well

is the recovery time

is an equivalent average inflow rate from the aquifer during the time of well recovery. This quantity is an empirical expression of what might termed "optimum yield of the well"

The total volume of water discharged from the well during the time of pumping tp can be separated into two parts (1) volume of water stored in the well between free and pos t pumpi ng level and (2) volume of water that aquifer yield to the well during tp.

Mathematically this can be expressed as:

tp tR tp J Qp dt = f Q rec (t) dt + J Qaq.(t) dt .... (2)

o o o

Proper mathematical expression of the balance of mass in the case of fully penetrating well with uniform well geometry is the following equation:

2 rrrw T Jtp ds(rwt) dt - rrr2w dr o

where:

is the transmissivity of the aquifer is the effective radius of the well is the drawdown in the aquifer

tp J Qp dt ... (3)

o

T rw s sw is the drawdown in the well at time t.

Equation (3) express the fact that the total discharge of the well during the pumping time tp is equal to the sum of the volume of water that aquifer yield to the well and the volume of water stored within the well.

Equation (3) is but one boundary condition of a boundary value problem. Instead, an approximation of the following type has advocated by Dr. Karanjac.

The integral on the left hand reduces to Qp tp, where Qp is QR tR and QR tp respectively. semi-empirical expression for

is the optimum yield of the well is the pumpi ng rate is the pumping time

(4 )

QR Op tp tR is the recovery time to original static water level.

This method has been applied and the results are given in the list of shallow wells given at the end of this chapter.

Shallow Well - Control of Ground Water Levels

The control of the ground water levels in the selected shallow wells started in April-May 1978 and continued up to April 1979 thus comprising a full year cycle. The result of the control program shows that the main categories of aquifers supplying shallow wells in the region are:

1. Alluvial soils (filled valleys - river courses) 2. Lateritic soils 3. Residual soils deep 4. Residual soils shallow 5. Lacustrine deposits

Unfortunately the control program of the shallow wells dug in lacustrine deposits could not be fulfilled due to transport problems particularly during the rainy season when the area is inaccessible for vehicles.

The results have been compiled and are shown in Figure 6.82. To the left are the annual fluctuations - the differences between the highest measured ground water level and the lowest. Those values have been shown for each category of geological environments.

Regarding the alluvium category one may note the comparatively small fluctuations averaging .8 m which means that wells dug in this aquifer need not be dug more than some 1.5 m below the highest SWL to keep it from going dry.

The laterite category shows a greater spread of values. Looking at the regional distribution of those wells the values to the left are collected from the peneplanized area around Sikonge where the wells dug in the lateri te "blankets" obvi ous ly vary less than laterite wells from the other parts of the region. On average in the region a well dug in laterite should be some 3 meters below "normal" SWL.

Deep residual soil shows an average drop of water level of 1.5 m which means the well needs be dug about 2 m below normal SWL. Wells dug in shallow residual soils show a slightly higher average drop 1.8 m so the annual fluctuations imply a well should be dug about 2.5 m below high SWL to prevent it from going dry.

The detailed description of these wells is found in Volume 3S.

The results of the water level measurements have been plotted on diagrams, see figure 6.79.

The following comments can be made on the results.

The well 4:2078 is situated in a wide valley and the aquifer seems to offer a sufficient water supply for the well during the year. The well is very shallow, the bottom only 1.25 m below the ground level but the water inflow seems to be enough also during SeptembGr - October when the effect of the dry period influences the water level in the well considerably. The water level sinks from 0.6 m in May-June to 0.7 m in August and then finally to 1.2 m in October. The effect of the beginning of the rains is reflected clearly as the level is rising from October to December to 0.35 m below ground level. It is characteristic for a good aquifer that the variation during the year is comparatively small, here about 1 m only.

The well 4:2072 Kaliua shows the same rhythm as the Chekeleni well during the year but the variation is larger. The level is sinking from April-May 2.7 m to 4.4 m in October and then is recuperating again during December-January to 3 m and 2.5 m. This variation

of the level is reflected in the depth of the well the bottom being at 5.0 m below the ground level. The behavior of the ground water shows that the movements in the lateritic aquifer are comparatively slow compared with the alluvium.

The results of the investigation of the aquifer "deep residual soil" 4:2050 Bukene, again indicate a slow reaction on the precipita­tion cycle. The lowest water level, 1.8 m is recorded in November and then stepwise is moving upwards again to 0.7 m. The compa­ratively small span indicates here as well as in the alluvium a comparatively good aquifer with rather fast water movements in the aqui fer. The moderate depth of the well, 2.5 m is also significant for a good water supply of this type aquifer throughout the year. The well is located on the slope of a comparatively wide valley which is aprt of the criteria for a good well.

The well 4:2089 Kipalapala which is located in shallow re~idual soil on a hilly area reflects the precipitation conditions faster. The water level is sinking to its lowest pOint, 2.5 m, in August-September and is then rather constant through October­November. During December it is going upwards again and reaches 0.9 m in April. The depth of the well is 3.6 m which indicates that the capacity of the aquifer sometimes is decreasing which forces a deepening of the well.

Shallow Ground Water Potential Estimates

The basic information for the estimations of the shallow ground water potential is collected from well-tests performed in existing shallow wells in the region and regional geological data supported by data as soil analysis.

One of the basic ideas behind the following calculations is that the annual drop of the shallow ground water level during the dry season does not affect the yield of the shallow well. The range of those fluctuations has been related to the geology class and are described in the previous section. In the following it is consequently assumed that the drawdown caused by the yield follows the annua 1 drop of the water 1 eve 1. The well mus t then be so deep that the drawdown does not drop below the bottom of the well at the particular part of the year when the unaffected ground water level reaches its lowest position. The deeper the shallow well the more expensive; we concentrate in what follows on the mi nimum depth of a we 11 to estab 1 ish a reasonable re 1 i abil i ty.

A shallow well might be considered as a partly penetrating well of the main aquifer out of which the deep ground water well yields its water. The length of water entry is less than the total depth of the aquifer. We assume an unconfined isotropic aquifer and steady state conditions.

In order to check that appropriate values for the permeability have been used a number of tested wellshave been used applying the above formula for partly penetrating wells. At this calculation the optimum yield and the actual Hs Rw and H - hw have been taken from the well test data in the appendix. In some cases H have been known from additional investigations and consequently used in the calculation. Otherwise the estimated H for the actual geology class of each well have been used.

The results of the calculation have been listed by district in compliance with the well test data.

CHAPTER 4 HYDROGEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS

This chapter presents some practical comments on hydrogeological field investigations. This is not meant to be a comprehensive listing but only points of interest reflecting the Consultant's experience particularly during the Tabora Water Master Plan field investigations.

4.1 Organization and Conduct of Resistivity and ~1agnetic Surveys

B§~iHi~HY

Proper planning and choice of configuration, maximum electrode spacing, probe spacing, and profile siting are essential. The following observations are made:

Planning

Configuration

Decisions on geo-electrical survey method should be taken with respect to factors as geology and topography and additional data e.g. old drillings. In the Tabora Region W~lP the Schlumberger­configuration was chosen being the most efficient for the purposes of the WMP. This also depended on the fact that master curves for field interpretation were available. The measuring program comprises double segments of the field curves (see 7.1.3). Hence the field work becomes more extensive but the comparatively little loss in time corresponds well, in our opinion, to the raise in reliability of each sounding. Hence, not one single sounding carried out at the WMP had to be excluded because of irregularities in the measured values.

Electrode Spacing

An important matter is the decision on the maximum electrode spacing which should be chosen with respect to the desired depth of the investigation. In the survey carried out for the WMP, determination of depth to fresh bedrock has been the most important target as this depth is an important factor in determining the hydro-geological potential. This meant that the maximum electrode-spacing was chosen to be 2-3 times the expected thickness of the overburden, which means AB/2 ~ 300-400 m. To be sure of the fact that fresh bedrock was always reached this electrode-spacing was used routinely.

Probe Spacing

The probe-spacing should be determined with respect to the desired accuracy at every profile-site and was, during the investigations of the WMP, adjusted between 50 and 100 m. The distance 100 m appeared to be sufficient in most cases, so was used routinely in the short profile program. The direction of the array was carried out perpendicular to the profile unless features as outcrops, brooks, etc. made this impossible. Levelling of the profiles should take place at the same time as the resistivity mea"surements.

In the long profile program, the probes were carried out two by two some 200-400 m apart in each valley track. One was taken perpendicular, the other parallel to the road.

The distance between the valley-tracks decides of course the distance between each couple of probes, but 3 km was common.

Siti ng

The siting of resistivity profiles should be carried out by geologist/geophysicist with respect to geology, topography, air photos, airborne geophysics (if available) etc. Presence of bushy terra i n wi 11 de 1 ay the measurements and shoul d be avoi ded. As the resistivity technique presumes plane-parallel layers, this fact should be kept in mind at the siting and the profiles should, if possible, be sited on flat land.

Resistivity Team Composition

"A team operating one set of resistivity equipment should be composed as follows:

Team Crew

Operator (water technician)

Responsibi 1 ities

Supervise team, take readings and calculate and plot curves.

2) Driver

3-6) Labors (1-2 might be local) Measure and move electrodes.

For transport of one team, one landrover is sufficient. If many teams work together a truck is recommended for the heavy and space-consuming part of the equipment as e.g. tents.

Magnetic Investigations

Magnetic survey along the resistivity profiles has showed to be of great value especially when irregularities of the bedrock are struck. The magnetic profile was often extended in one or both directions especially when an anomaly was obtained and the shape of it was wished to be achieved properly.

The distance between the reading was normally 20 m but when anomaly values were struck it was decreased to 10-5 m.

Survey Crew

The resistivity/magnetic survey crew of the Tabora WMP consisted of two resistivity teams, composition as above and one magnetic survey and .levelling team. The latter which works in intimate coopera ti on with the two former cons is ted of two members.

Team Crew

Field surveyor

Field assistant

Responsibilities

Carry out the levelling and operate the magnetometer. Take the readings and plot the profiles.

Support the levelling and the magnetic profiling.

As this activity is finished quite soon at an investigation site the two team-members support one resistivity team each.

Equipment

Field equipment for the complete survey crew should be composed of following items:

2 Land Rovers

2 ABEM terrameters including V-box, G-box, batteries and connecting cable.

8 Cable-reels 8 Connecting cable 1 m with clams and plugs 8 Connecti ng cabl elm with plugs 8 Iron electrodes 8 Hammers 4 Measuring tapes, cloth or plastic 100 m 40 Harking sticks, wooden, small 1 Leve 11 i ng ins trument 1 Levelling stick 5 ~arking sticks, steel, 1.5 m 2 Umbrellas, for sun protection 2 Pads of VES forms 3 Electronic calculators 1 Camping equipment including 3 sets of tables and chairs

Analysis and Interpretation

A well-trained team carries out 3-4 probes per day. The time for analyzing and interpretation of the field work depends on the length of the profiles, numbers of probes, the shape of the field-curves (= the number of the resistivity-layers) and availability of additional data. In "normal" cases with a profile length of 1 km, interpretation and analysis takes 2-3

'days. Many resistivity and magnetic profiles within the same area will increase the reliability of the interpreted results if the geology is not changing too much.

The interpretation should be carried out by an experienced geophy­sicist. In order to check and on some occasions interpret complicated resistivity field curves, a computer is needed. Several programs for making master curves as well as for semi automatic and automatic interpreting are available today. Magnetic anomalies were interpreted only qualitatively as a quantitative interpretation needs a considerable volume of additional data which was not available.

4.2 Operation of a Seismic Team

Based on the experience of the Tabora Water Master Plan a brief outline of the procedures for a seismic team is provided in the fo 11 owi ng:

The team should consist of the following staff:

l. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Seismic Engineer (team leader) Seismic Operator Shot master Driver Field Workers Cook Watchman (local)

1 1 1 1

3-4 1 1

The seismic engineer handles the interpretation of the seismic curves and profiles and writes the reports. The interpretation takes about twice as much time as the field work, thus the best solution is that an engineering geologist with long experience of the seismics performs the interpretation in coordination with other geophysical and geological working groups. In that way the operator can entirely deal with the field work and thus obtain rapid, accurate results.

Operator - Directs the field work, surveys and levels the profiles; responsible for the seismic equipment, the explosives and the crew.

Shot master - Responsible for the dynamite and the detonators, Handles the shot cable and charges the shot points.

Drivers - Responsible for the car and the transport; should be able to help the field workers.

Workers - Clear the area for the profile, measure the intervals between the shot points, prepare the shot points, move the geophone cables and place the geophones in the ground.

Cook - Responsible for food, water supply and storage, preparing food, keeping tents and the camp clean, guarding the camp during day time.

Watchman - Guarding the camp during the night.

Comments on Operation of the field team

It is important that everybody in the team knows his tasks and performs such efficiently. Taking into account all the difficulties

that can occur during the field work such a breakdown of vehicles, illness, heavy rains, time consuming food and water supply, the effective working time during a week usually comprises four days. The daily working time usually is extended to 10 hours.

The length of profile that can be measured during one day depends upon the chosen interval between the geophones, 2 m, 5 m or 10 m. With 10 m interval a profile lengths of about 800 m can be completed in one day, with 5 m interval - 500 m and with 2 m interval - 400 m. These figures refer to results w.hen using the 12 channel ABEM seismic equipment. The 24 channel equipment increases the working capacity about 50%.

~9~iE~~Q!_~~g~ir~~~~!§

Seismic unit and spares. Equipment recommended is AB EM TRIO 12 or 24 channel recorder-amplifier seismic refraction unit with fittings for charging the instrument. Shot box with one or seven channel - cable of the length of 25 m. 210-250 m single cables for 12 or 24 channel geophone cable. The interval between the geophone connectors is 10 m.

If the interval between the geophones is 2 or 5 m a 10 m geophone cable with 5 m interval between the connectors should be easier to handle. It is advisable to keep 4-6 geophones as a reserve. The consumption of the dynamite and the detonators is difficult to estimate.

~~~Ei~9_Sg~iE~~~!

If working in tropical conditions: Light tents (2 persons), beds, mattresses, sheets, mosquito net, shower tent, tables and chairs for every man in the team, several water cans, kitchen utensils, crockery and a gas-driven refrigerator.

Y§!bi~l§!

The team is living and working in the field usually for long periods and therefore the driver must keep the car in good order and should be able to carry out minor repairs.

4.3 Recommendations for Drilling Operations

The strategy of a dri 11 ing program for a water master plan project can be looked upon in two ways ei ther as' a pure research i nvesti­gation or as a combined investigation and production hole program, the latter phase of course being the secondary purpose or extra benefit of the results of the drilling.

Type of Drilling Unit and Organization

The choice of drilling unit is depending upon the targets in each particular project and also naturally the area to be investigated the topography, geology etc. and last but not least the accessibility of the drilling sites.

If the project is looked upon as research, light rotary drilling units can be used which is a great advantage for the movability and the flexibility of the field work. Usually the light rigs and drilling holes of small dimensions with continuous or interval sampling. Depending upon the type of method the samples are disturbed such as blown or augered soil samples and chips of bedrock. Undisturbed samples are collected with core drilling which is comparatively slower method but gives more accurate informations about the lithology. The rigs are able to drill with bigger dimensions for instance up to 20 or 25 cm through the overburden but in the bedrock usually not more than 10 cm and if core drilling 32-74 mm holes are the common dimension.

There is, however, a possibility to carry out core-drilling using 101 and 146 mm drilling bits which in that case allow bigger pumps with correspondingly larger capacities to be used.

So for a complete test program, holes with bigger dimension are a must which determines the size of drilling machine. This type of machine can drill bedrock holes of bigger dimension 16-25 cm and thus submersible pumps can be used for the well test with a diameter of 10 to 13 cm with maximum capacity varying from about 5 m3/hr to 40 m3/hr. The figures given are based upon the curves showing the capacity of the pump on different depths in the holes.

The operation of the big drilling units needs careful planning and for the field work a well organized transport team has to be created to avoid unnecessary delays of the drilling time which will jeopardize the outcome of the project. Particularly the fuel and the sparepart denvery has always been a bottleneck for the rig operations. If u rig has no movable workshop operating in the field a local workshop must be established, for instance, at the ~1AJI yard.

The following arrangement can be looked upon as examples how to organize a drilling unit.

If the unit is provided with a movable workshop it will be one driver for the workshop if the mechanic is not able to drive it.

Extra personnel such as watchmen should be employed locally.

If the work is carried out far from a depot one extra truck should be allocated to the unit for transport of fuel and spares.

~2Q!rQl_Qf_QrilliD9~_~Qr@nQl@_~Qg~_@!£·

One hydrogeologist should be in contact with the rig continuously and at times stay with the rig particularly when it is drilling for control of the collection of samples.

During the drilling the penetration rate should be measured very carefully, the timetaking, changes of bits, compressor etc. must be recorded properly.

During the drilling, analyses of the samples should be performed. If possible a well log unit should be able to control the hole and the unit must work together with, or be the responsibility of the hydrogeologist.

FIGURE 6.85 CHECKING THE SAMPLES. RIG 48 DRILLING AT NYANDEKWA

The possibi: ity to carry out well tests during the drill ing where waterbearing zones are struck is usually difficult but would be a great advantage. However the drilling team is often forced to pull out and finish a drilling as fast as possible due to fast climate changes which during the rainy season can lead to that the rig can be bogged down at a drilling site. Likewise the problem with transport and spares can delay the drilling seriously vlhich in tum vii 11 force the foreman to finish the hole when it is possible without delay i.e. he is drilling for water and when a satisfactory amount is I'eached, no matter if 2 or 3 waterbearing zones have been crossed, then the hole is completed. Itence immediately after completion the well test can be carried out.

FIGURE 6. 86 WELL TESTING OF'BH 106/78 TUMBI REPRESENTATIVE AREA

If the rig has been able to drill an observation hole the well test should begin with an aquifer test followed by a step draw­down test. Otherwise only the drawdown test can be carried out.

Water samples should be taken preferably during the drilling when water zones are struck if it is possible to clean the hole before sampling. Otherwise the sampling should be done after the completion and then during the well test two or three times to control if any changes of the water quality after continuous pumping.
