Groundwater Analysis & Development

Groundwater supplies are a critical adjunct to surface water supplies, in many cases forming the largest component in a given water resources plan. NRCE’s wealth of groundwater resources experience allows for custom-tailored solutions for each client and every project.

Exploration & Mapping – From interpretation of aerial photography and satellite imagery to numerical modeling, we ensure a complete analysis of groundwater availability:
   •  Hydrogeological Characterization & Database Development
   •  Groundwater Exploration & Modeling
   •  Springs & Wells Inventory & Mapping

Analyses & System Integration – We employ a variety of proven techniques to confirm that water resources, once identified, are reasonably accessible and suitable for each project’s given purpose:
   •  Well Drilling Program Design & Implementation
   •  Aquifer Pumping Tests
   •  System Design, Costing, & Feasibility Assessment

Resource Management – Once a new groundwater supply is established, we are proficient in the development of tools for wellfield management to meet ongoing needs:
   •  Monitoring Plans
   •  Drought Contingency Plans
   •  Wellhead Protection Plans
   •  Water Conservation Plans
