Hydrogeochemical Surveys reveal the nature of the aquifer rocks through which the groundwater flows and demonstrates the direction of water or contaminant movement. They often reduce the amount of drilling required to gain rock and fluid information.
Nitrate Isotope Studies using 15N and 16O has been shown by GeoScience Technologies to reveal the sources of nitrates found in aquifers of the Southwest. Possible sources are from agricultural fertilizers, animal operations, human septic systems, and natural occurrences in rock formations.
Stable Isotope Studies provide information on the origins of
groundwater. Used with other hydrogeochemical and hydrologic data,
the stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen contribute robust information.
Remote Sensing provides in-depth, non-transgressive, geological,
vegetative, hydrological, and land use data from aerial photography,
satellite imagery, and airborne radar. This can include rock, soil, and
even vegetative cover details for special studies.
Groundwater Monitoring is the heart of regulatory compliance. Proper
sampling, good monitor well construction, and necessary well maintenance
are the keys to solid testing results. Poor well construction and
improper testing procedures will yield flawed data and potentially
undesirable results.
Disposal Plans are an integral and financially significant part of many
businesses. A properly designed and implemented disposal plan is an
immediate asset enhancement and on-going future money-saver.
