Groundwater Resource Characterization

Develop a Clear Understanding of Your Groundwater Resource

Successful water resource projects begin with a comprehensive understanding of site conditions, aquifer behavior, and groundwater availability. Our groundwater resource characterization services provide the data, analysis, and technical insight needed to support exploration, development, permitting, operational planning, and long-term resource management.

We combine field investigations, hydrogeologic monitoring, aquifer testing, and advanced modeling to develop defensible groundwater assessments tailored to your project’s objectives.

Groundwater Exploration & Due Diligence

We design and execute groundwater exploration programs that establish a strong technical foundation for decision-making.

Our services include:

  • Groundwater exploration program development and execution
  • Desktop due diligence and data review
  • Existing data compilation and interpretation
  • Identification of data gaps and investigation priorities

Field Services & Monitoring

Our field teams establish and manage monitoring networks that generate reliable data for groundwater characterization and ongoing resource evaluation.

Field Services

  • Field mapping
  • Hydrology monitoring point establishment, including:
    • Groundwater monitoring wells
    • Springs and seeps
    • Surface water stations
  • Groundwater level and pressure monitoring
  • Surface water gaging

Water Quality Monitoring

We develop and implement water quality monitoring programs to establish baseline conditions and assess changes over time.

Monitoring services include:

  • Groundwater sampling
  • Surface water sampling
  • Spring and seep sampling

Aquifer Assessment

Understanding aquifer performance and groundwater dynamics is essential for sustainable resource development.

Our assessment capabilities include:

  • Aquifer and well testing
  • Groundwater/surface water interaction assessments
  • Hydrogeologic interpretation and resource evaluation
