Borehole Feasibility Assessments
An early appraisal of whether a groundwater source is likely to be technically viable, environmentally acceptable and able to meet your water requirements.
A Borehole Feasibility Assessment by H2Ogeo Ltd provides an early understanding of whether a groundwater source is likely to be technically viable, environmentally acceptable and capable of meeting the client’s water requirements. Assessments may support private water supplies, commercial and agricultural uses, irrigation, process water or other abstraction proposals.
Our approach
H2Ogeo reviews the site’s geology, aquifer characteristics, nearby borehole records, groundwater levels, water quality information and existing licensed abstractions. The assessment considers the likely borehole depth, potential yield and anticipated water quality, together with constraints such as Source Protection Zones, sensitive water features and the possible effects of abstraction on neighbouring supplies or the environment.
Where a borehole appears feasible, H2Ogeo can advise on suitable drilling locations, outline borehole construction and the investigations required to confirm a sustainable yield. We can also assist with applications for consent to investigate a groundwater source, prepare pumping-test method statements and interpret step and constant-rate pumping-test results. Where required, this work can be coordinated with experienced drilling contractors and analytical laboratories.
Our assessments are clear, proportionate and focused on the decisions that need to be made before significant expenditure is committed. Clients receive a practical appraisal of the opportunities, uncertainties and regulatory requirements, helping them decide whether to proceed with confidence and reducing the risk of an unsuitable or unsuccessful borehole installation.
