GROUND WATER INVESTIGATION

The tried and tested procedures adopted by Hydracrat when trying to locate a ground water supply have proved to be successful and cost effective over many years. Normally we will recommend that clients should consider progressing a ground water investigation in three separate stages.

Stage 1

A desk top geological investigation should be carried out to determine as accurately as possible from available information whether a suitable ground water supply is likely to be encountered from within the clients property.

Stage 2

Assuming the findings of the desk study prove to be encouraging, we will recommend the drilling of a small diameter probe borehole to a particular depth. The objective of the probe borehole is to locate a ground water source, indicating ground water quantity and quality, as economically as possible. Once stage 2 is complete we will then provide a fixed price quotation to complete a production well installation.

Stage 3

This quite simply entails the construction of a production well or wells, based on the findings of stage 2.

You will see from the illustration below, a ground water strike during the drilling of a probe borehole.
