Groundwater Monitoring.

Our Approach

Groundwater monitoring at H2Ogeo Ltd provides clients with clear, reliable evidence of groundwater behaviour to support planning, design and regulatory decisions. Monitoring is often required to discharge planning conditions, demonstrate the feasibility of infiltration or de-risk basements and foundations, particularly where seasonal groundwater levels are uncertain. H2Ogeo designs proportionate monitoring programmes tailored to the site and development, ensuring data collected is robust, defensible and directly relevant to the question being asked.

A key strength of H2Ogeo’s groundwater monitoring is the focus on practical delivery and meaningful interpretation. Monitoring programmes may include manual dipping, automated data loggers or a combination of both, depending on site constraints and timescales. Data is reviewed in the context of local geology, rainfall patterns and nearby abstractions, allowing seasonal trends and peak groundwater levels to be identified with confidence. This avoids over-reliance on conservative assumptions and helps clients make informed design and programme decisions.

Crucially, H2Ogeo presents groundwater monitoring results in a clear, regulator-friendly format that supports swift approvals. Monitoring summaries are concise, well-structured and directly linked to planning conditions, drainage strategies or risk assessments, setting out clear conclusions and implications for the proposed development. For clients, this means reduced uncertainty, fewer follow-up requests from regulators and greater confidence that groundwater will not become a constraint as projects move forward.
