Getting to the bottom of groundwater!
Water that penetrates
the ground surface is known as groundwater and it may move horizontally through
the earth to a stream channel, or it may percolate deeper to the water table or
phreatic surface.
We investigate and analyse the movement and quality of groundwater
- Groundwater abstraction
for use as potable or service water, for thermal cooling or the dewatering of excavations
for construction.
- Modification of the
existing groundwater flow regime and groundwater level due to the below ground
construction or changes to infiltration at the surface.
- Mitigation of any
potential impact on the local groundwater due to construction (for example of
landfill sites or brownfield/contaminated sites)
- Measures to reduce
the impact of construction on the groundwater flow regime and on surface
infiltration.
