GROUNDWATER INVESTIGATION
Groundwater and underground strata survey with the help of various geophysical techniques such as resistivity survey, recharge test, aquifer pumping test, etc. is our other important offering.
Most common purposes for which groundwater investigation services are required are:
-
Drilling of new bore wells or construction of dug wells for groundwater extraction
Groundwater survey is used to scientifically estimate the most appropriate location, depth, yield and water quality of the aquifer. Accordingly design of groundwater extraction structure such as a bore well or a dug well is recommended. This helps prevent unnecessary expenditure incurred on random drilling which may not yield satisfactory results.
-
Drilling of rainwater recharge bore wells
Groundwater survey plays an important part in identifying aquifers with good recharge potential. Design of rainwater recharge bore well can accordingly be recommended so as to maximise the efficiency and life of recharge bore well.
-
To determine possible solutions of artificial underground drainage of excess water in water-
logged areas
Groundwater survey is used to identify aquifers with good recharge potential in water logged areas. These aquifers can then be used to drain off excess water accumulating on surface in areas prone to water logging.
