The water supply system in Schrems is supplied by water from wells and springs. A total capacity from all sources is 20 l/s. During the dry periods a total capacity drops to 10 l/s.

• An increase of the supply efficiency during the dry periods to be achieved by connection of additional water source.
• Determination of the exact location of well, based on the geological and hydro-geological investigations.
• Investigation of interaction between designed well and existing wells and ditch.
• Determination of necessary protection area for a well.

• Preliminary investigation by survey drillings and short pumping tests, Installation of probes network.
• Pumping long-term test with monitoring of water level in probes.
• Evaluation of measurement for elaboration of groundwater layers drawings, Determination of groundwater stream relations.
• Hydro-geological evaluation of investigations and determination of protection area.
• Construction of well as „horizontal filter well“.
• Pumping tests after the construction of the well in order to determine the exact capacity of the well.
