Hydrogeologic
Septic Systems
Soil and groundwater conditions are evaluated to determine whether the
subsurface conditions are suitable for septic treatment of wastes. The
suitability of the soil can be checked with either a percolation test or
grain size analysis. Depth to the water table and the chemical nature of the
source water is also checked to ensure that on-site treatment of wastes can
be done safely and effectively.

Aquifer Evaluation
Groundwater supplies water for acreages, agricultural, industrial and
municipal uses throughout Alberta. Aquifers supplying this water are not
evenly distributed throughout Alberta and subsurface investigations to
determine whether sufficient aquifers are present can be undertaken. These
investigations range from review of existing water well data published
reports to drilling, well installation, pump testing and sampling to
application for a water license.
The investigations typically followed a phased approach with
review of existing data initially undertaken to determine whether successful
aquifers can likely be obtained prior to drilling and pump testing.

Dewatering
Control of groundwater into excavations and basements may be necessary
should seepage impede construction or operation. Design of dewatering
systems can be undertaken to determine the most optimal system for
dewatering.

Pond Seepage
Seepage
from or into ponds can be controlled by a variety of means. Native soils can
be sufficient to prevent seepage and investigations to determine the
permeability of the soil and nature of aquifers within the area can be
undertaken to determine whether a liner is needed or whether the natural
conditions can be utilized.

Water Well Performance Investigations
The supply of water from the ground depends on the properties of the aquifer
and the condition of the water well. Water wells can fail not only because
the aquifer is drying up but because the efficiency of the well is being
reduced. Pump tests, chemical and biological sampling and borehole camera
inspection can be used to determine the nature of the aquifer and well.
Treatment methods can be undertaken to improve well bore efficiency.
