One of the most critical components in ensuring chemical safety is the use of Geomembrane liners, which prevent the leakage of hazardous materials into soil and groundwater. In this case study, we explore how Ocean Non Wovens played a pivotal role in enhancing chemical containment safety through the installation of Ocean HDPE Liner at a Chemical Project in West ...
Note that this is not a comprehensive list! Environmental Exploration Geo-Technical Sampling and Testing Construction Water Wells Construction Lithological Profiling (observation wells) Mineral Exploration/Sampling Dewatering Wells Groundwater Exploration Remediation Seismic Drilling ...
A sanitation system that, when managed safely, protects groundwater from contamination by human waste. For this reason, the link between sanitation and groundwater cannot be overlooked. Groundwater is the most abundant source of freshwater in the world. It maintains drinking water and sanitation systems, food production, industrial processes and ...
What is sonic drilling? Sonic drilling is a technique that significantly reduces friction on the drill string and drill bit by using energy resonance to affect the soil structure where it contacts the drill string. This combination makes penetrating for a large range of soils much easier. Sonic drilling is most often used when the drilling is difficult and the integrity of the core sample is ...
A Vehicle-Mounted Solution Using CrossOver CO730 Customer’s task The Swedish Geological Survey (SGU) has been engaged in groundwater exploration projects to investigate Sweden’s many glacial river deposits. The deposits are spread across the country and are the most significant groundwater resources for drinking water supplies in ...
Summary Passive seismic HVSR surveying is increasingly being used for investigating the thickness of soft sedimentary cover deposits sitting over hard and fresh bedrock, and for direct drill targeting of paleochannels for groundwater and brine resources. A detailed passive seismic HVSR survey was carried out at the Chilalo Graphite Project in SE Tanzania to assist with defining the thickness of ...
In times of drought or water scarcity, little water is available naturally to recharge existing groundwater supplies, which can become depleted by overuse. Groundwater withdrawals have tripled in the past 50 years, according to 2012 United Nations estimates cited in The World’s Water: Volume 8. Areas with the highest groundwater withdrawals ...
In February 2015, they wanted better information about where to drill a well in the Yeri Mozo Village in South Sudan in order to provide access to safe and clean water—and improve the quality of life—for local villagers. Process Selecting groundwater sites and performing groundwater exploration are far easier tasks with AGI, as ...
In May 2014 and May 2015, AGI conducted a hydrogeology workshop focused on training students how to use a resistivity meter for groundwater exploration at Lake Travis near Austin, Texas. Why groundwater exploration? ...
However, with resistivity imaging groundwater exploration techniques, even when you’re in one of the driest locations on Earth, deep groundwater is possible to locate. ...
When cities exclusively rely on groundwater as a water source, this is a problem. According to experts from the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission explained to the San Francisco Examiner, San Francisco blends local groundwater with reservoir-sourced water. To keep its groundwater use in check, wells are monitored for both water level and ...
Marcus Gary of the Edwards Aquifer Authority, conducted a hydrogeology workshop focused on groundwater exploration. Why groundwater exploration? This workshop’s purpose was important: As water—especially groundwater—becomes more and more scarce (and thus, valuable) knowing exactly where and ...
In addition to scanning for leaks, AGI’s tools are a cost-effective, incredibly accurate solution for clients in every industry from gas and oil exploration to mining, geotechnical investigation, groundwater exploration, archaeology, and beyond. ...
Groundwater is a dynamic and replenishable natural resource but in hard rock terrain the availability of groundwater is of limited extent. ...
Resistivity method is very suitable for groundwater exploration. Two methods can be used, the surface method and crosshole method. ...
Groundwater is a precious resource in Oman, which is designated “National Wealth” by Royal Decree. The concession agreement between Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) and the government gives PDO the right to explore and use groundwater. So far PDO has used groundwater only for maintaining camp operations. ...
In April 2013, in partnership with SensorVital and Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, AGI conducted a workshop focused on exploring the resistivity of shallow soil at Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Purpose The purpose of this exploration was to use 2D imaging and a soil resistivity meter to demonstrate how ...
As the more easily accessed surface water resources are already being used, pressure on groundwater is growing. In the last few decades, this pressure has been evident through rapidly increasing pumping of groundwater, accelerated by the availability of cheap drilling and pumping technologies and, in some countries, energy subsidies that distort decisions about ...
The field of groundwater hydrology and the discipline of hydrogeology have attracted a lot of attention during the past few decades. This is mainly because of the increasing need for high quality water, especially groundwater. This book, written by 15 scientists from 6 countries, clearly demonstrates the extensive range of issues that are dealt with in the field ...
This paper reports findings of a pilot study that explored the potential for groundwater contamination from gravesites in some rural settlements of north-central Nigeria. Preliminary results suggest that the long-standing burial practices among some cultures of rural north-central Nigeria may potentially compromise groundwater quality, which is, ...
