Borehole drilling is the drilling of a narrow shaft into the Earths surface, they're constructed for a range of different purposes such as the extraction of water or other liquids such as oil, and also natural gases.

They're often drilled also as part of a geotechnical investigations and environmental site assessments.

Hundreds of years ago it was carried out by sheer brute force using a rod that was called a bore. Nowadays though we have borehole drilling rigs that are capable of drilling to much greater depths.

What are the method of Borehole survey?

Not 100% sure on the question whether it means surveying an existing borehole or assessing the viability of drilling a new one. If it's surveying an existing borehole for problems etc that is usually done via CCTV where a camera is lowered into the well. If it's assessing the viability of drilling a new borehole then that's called borehole prognosis and that is carried by a hydrogeologist who geology, hydrogeology, water quality, potential yield and borehole depth requirements.

What parts of Chinese drilling process do the glass of water the straw and the empty glass represents?

The glass of water represents the drill bit, which is used to create a hole in the material being drilled. The straw represents the drill stem, which is the long, tubular component that connects the drill bit to the drilling rig. The empty glass represents the borehole, which is the hole that is created by the drilling process.
