Norton, Mashonaland West, Zimbabwe
Norton is the gateway to Mashonaland West's agricultural heartland — and borehole water is essential for the tobacco, cotton and vegetable farms that define the corridor between Harare and Chegutu.

Norton sits on the fringe of the Harare Greenstone Belt — a band of ancient volcanic and sedimentary rocks that interlaces with the surrounding granite plateau. This mixed geology means borehole productivity is highly variable, making expert geophysical siting essential. The Freddy Group surveys each site individually to identify the most promising drilling targets, whether on granite ridges or within the more productive greenstone belt where fracture aquifers can yield in excess of 3 litres per second.
The town is a significant agro-industrial corridor town: tobacco estates, cotton and vegetable farms line the A5 highway, and all rely on groundwater as a supplement or full substitute for the municipal supply. Typical borehole depths in the Norton area range from 40–80 m, with deeper drilling occasionally required on the granite outcrops to the south.
