This is the standard UNHCR borehole drilling contract template for refugee settings available in PDF and MSWord formats. The contract also includes a technical specification for drilling which defines the following borehole construction requirements: drillpipe diameters; casings and screens; hydrogeological survey; identification of drilling sites; abandoned boreholes; drilling equipment and depths; plumbness and alignment; temporary lid; artificial and natural gravel pack; well development; sanitary seal; pumping tests; borehole yields; borehole pollution; borehole disinfection; and water samples.

    F-503/2015a UNHCR Landfill Waste Register (UNHCR, 2015)

    These sample terms of reference may be used should WASH actors working in refugee settings with to engage the services of a Consultant to carry out hydrogeological surveys of pre-selected areas. The terms of reference cover the following areas…
    Evaluating the groundwater situation based on compilation of existing relevant data (e.g. drilling logs) with additional classical hydrogeological field data collection (e.g. survey of water points, water levels, water quality) leading to the identification of favourable exploration zones
    Carrying out groundwater exploratory field geophysical investigations to identify exact drilling locations, and
    Supervising the drilling process and on the spot reporting on the progress.
