Borehole Drilling Feasibility and Groundwater Abstraction Licence Support

At H2Ogeo, we provide expert borehole drilling feasibility and groundwater abstraction licence support for clients across the South East. Whether you’re planning a private water supply, irrigation borehole, or commercial groundwater source, our hydrogeologists deliver clear, practical guidance from concept to completion.

Borehole Prognosis and Feasibility

Our feasibility and prognosis reports assess the geological and hydrogeological potential of your site using British Geological Survey (BGS) data, borehole records, groundwater vulnerability mapping, and Environment Agency G-Series positions. We identify the most suitable target aquifer, estimate likely yields, and provide recommendations for borehole depth, construction, and design.

Expert Licensing Advice

If your abstraction exceeds 20 cubic metres per day, you’ll need an Environment Agency abstraction licence. H2Ogeo can manage the process — from pre-application consultation to preparing environmental assessments and submitting the final application. Our strong working knowledge of EA groundwater permitting ensures your submission is compliant and efficiently handled.
