Hydrological & Hydrogeological Surveys by FORAGEO
FORAGEO provides end‑to‑end hydrological and hydrogeological survey services to support reliable water supply development, infrastructure design, environmental compliance, and flood risk management.
Core Capabilities
- Groundwater Exploration – Integrated geophysical surveys, exploratory drilling, and pumping tests to locate aquifers, estimate sustainable yields, and evaluate water quality.
- Aquifer Testing & Characterization – Design and execution of pumping and recovery tests to determine transmissivity, storativity, specific yield, and hydraulic conductivity for water supply design and groundwater modeling.
- River & Stream Flow Measurement – High‑accuracy discharge measurements using ADCP, velocity‑area methods, and rating curves to support water resource assessments, flood studies, and environmental flow analysis.
- Groundwater Level Monitoring – Design, installation, and operation of monitoring networks with automated loggers to track seasonal water table changes and long‑term trends.
- Flood Risk Assessment – Catchment hydrology analysis, rainfall‑runoff modeling, flood frequency estimation, and hydraulic modeling to inform drainage design and flood mitigation.
Methods & Technology
- Geophysical methods (e.g. electrical resistivity tomography, EM surveys) integrated with targeted drilling and well installation to build robust conceptual hydrogeological models.
- Surface water surveys using boat‑mounted and wading ADCP systems, calibrated current meters, and automated level recorders to capture both baseflow and event‑driven conditions.
- Advanced analytical and numerical tools for pumping test interpretation, rainfall‑runoff modeling, groundwater flow simulation, and flood routing.
- Clear, decision‑focused reporting with full data appendices, interpreted results, and practical, regulation‑aligned recommendations.
Key Applications
- Water Supply Development – Wellfield siting and design, sustainable yield assessment, and source protection zoning for municipal, industrial, and agricultural users.
- Construction & Infrastructure – Dewatering feasibility, groundwater control design, and assessment of construction impacts on local water resources.
- Environmental Assessment – Baseline characterization, impact assessment, and compliance monitoring for water quantity and quality.
- Flood Management – Catchment studies, flood mapping, SuDS support, and climate‑change‑informed flood frequency and magnitude analysis.
- Mining & Quarrying – Mine water management, pit dewatering, acid mine drainage assessment, and post‑closure monitoring.
