Hydrogeological and Groundwater Assessments

Hydro Environmental has extensive experience in groundwater and hydrogeology related assessments.

Hydro Environmental offer a comprehensive assessment for variety of hydrogeological applications including characterisation of aquifer type and vulnerability , Source protection studies, spring and well yield assessments for water supply, impact assessment for activities, impact assessment for land spreading, road infrastructure projects and landfill sites, watertable drawdown assessments mine and quarry developments. Our assessments can involve intrusive investigation, monitoring borehole installation, groundwater level monitoring, surface water flow monitoring, conceptual model development and analytical or numerical modelling with computer simulated flow predictions for the hydraulic and hydrochemical impacts on surrounding wells, water bodies and ecosystems.

(a) Field investigation
- Intrusive investigation
- Geological mapping
- Well auditing
- Groundwater monitoring & sampling
- Surface water flow gauging
(b) Groundwater modelling
- Numerical modelling of hydraulic inputs & outputs
- Cone of depression analysis
- Computer-simulated flow predictions (ModFlow)
(c) Environmental monitoring network
- Design & installation of single or nested piezometers to monitor key water bearing horizons
- Design & installation of surface water flow weirs
- Installation & management of automated water levels recorders (divers) & telemetry
(d) Surface & borehole geophysical investigation
- Non-intrusive determination of ground properties
- Resource evaluation
(e) Long term environmental monitoring
- Professional advice on monitoring & compliance with environmental legislation, conditions of planning & licensing conditions.Spring, well yield and vulnerability
- Aquifer characterisation and source protection
