Where does the water at Nkorho Pan come from? Is it a manmade waterhole and do they fill it on regular times?

May I ask, is a bore hole some sort of well?

Kind of Sueso.....

A borehole is made by drilling deep into the ground until (hopefully) an underground water source is found. A pump (powered either by diesel, windmill or solar-power) is then used to bring the water to the surface.
