Save money on well Drilling Costs with Southwest Groundwater Surveyors

     

   Well drilling costs, and the uncertainty of where to drill a water well, can be be a nerve racking and costly gamble.  You may depend on witching for water, or on a company that does well drilling for water to tell you where to drill a water well.  However the decision ultimately is up to you, the client.
   
   Drillers are good at drilling a well, and some have a lot of experience and are very conscientious.
but in order to locate a water well drill site with any degree of accuracy, it is imperative to first have a groundwater survey conducted prior to drilling.

   Those who depend on groundwater wells for their water needs can save money on well drilling costs, (often thousands of dollars) by greatly reducing the need to drill more than once.  They can do so by gaining accurate information about the underground water aquifer, where the best producing well drilling site, and how deep to drill.

Find Water Well Drilling Locations in Utah

The '''seismoelectric Groundwater Surveying method''' (which is also known as electro seismic groundwater surveying or electro kinetic surveying) is based on the creation of electric signals in soils and rocks that is produced by seismic waves originating on the earth's surface. This technique was developed in the United Kingdom by Groundflow Ltd. and has been widely used throughout North America since the mid 1990's.  The primary use for seismoelectric technology is to locate groundwater aquifers, and to find an optimal well drilling site. The seismoelectric operator will collect the data at various locations on a property such as a farm, ranch, golf course etc. The data is then interpreted to determine three estimations as follows:

1. The optimal location (of the tested areas) for drilling the well.

2. The correct water well drill depth  (to the base of the aquifer),

3. The potential yield of the well. (based on the strength of the seismoelectric signal produced).

Testimonials:

Lucerne Valley, California  Mark F. of Lucerne Valley, California contacted us to see if we could find fresh water on his property. The area is known for having salty water in the top 200 feet below ground surface. Southwest Groundwater Surveyors was referred to Mark By Greg Solomon of Solomon Drilling and Pump Service in Lucerne Valley. After conducting a series of seismoelectric tests on Marks property it was determined that two sites showed promise of fresh water if drilled to a depth of 490'. Mark just called to inform us that Solomon Drilling and Pump Svc. has developed the well after drilling to 485'. The well casing was not perforated for the first 200' to prevent the salty water from contaminating the fresh water. Mark is enjoying 30 gallons per minute of fresh clean water in an area where only salty wells have been drilled before.

Johnson Valley California:

Bill K. hired Southwest Groundwater Surveyors to locate the optimal well drilling site on his 20 acre lot in Johnson Valley Ca.  Today after six months, Bill called to inform us that he finally had his well drilled by Solomon Drilling and Pump.  The estimated depth of 440 feet was spot on and he is enjoying a 50 gallon per minute well.

Find Well Water in Nevada, Southwest Groundwater Surveyors.

Find Well Water in Nevada

In February 2015 Ranch owner Tracy C. hired Southwest Groundwater Surveyors to conduct a series of aquifer locating tests to find well water in Nevada.  He had recently drilled a dry well.

After only fifteen test sights on Tracy's 680 acre ranch we were happy to find a groundwater location site for well drilling, that we estimated would yield 65 gallons per minute if drilled to 360 feet below ground surface.

We just received word from Tracy who said he just had the well drilled at the site and he is happy to be pumping 70 Gallons per minute after drilling to a depth of  370 feet.

Tracy has asked Southwest Groundwater Surveyors to come back and find him another well site.

Method to Find Well Water Before Drilling

   The Seismoelectric Method is the only known method for seeing the underground aquifer directly.  Where other methods may determine the depth and the porosity of the underlying rock matrix a few hundred feet below ground; but at best they can only guess whether water is present or not.
   
   Southwest groundwater Surveyors seismic well water survey method has been found to be the most accurate, best method to find well water for drilling.  In addition, groundwater surveying is very cost effective compared to the price of drilling a dry or less productive well.  We have the instruments and the ability to see the aquifer prior to the well being drilled,  We can see the groundwater aquifer to a depth of 1500 feet below ground.
 
   This has become the method of choice to find water for farms land-owners, , developers, utility companies, well drillers, farms, ranches, geologists, home owners, and anyone who needs a reasonable assurance of drilling on the best location the first time.  Why take a chance on a costly dry well?

An Aquifer Is / An Aquitard is

An aquifer is a water saturated permeable geologic layer, or fracture zone, that is able to transmit significant quantities of water.  A geologic layer that cannot transmit significant quantities of water is usually referred to as an aquiclude.  An aquitard is a rock unit that generally has a low permeability and hence will transmit only very limited quantities of water and are generally not suitable for production wells.  The terms Aquifer or aquitards can be used to define most geologic strata.  The most common aquifers include permeable sedimentary rocks such as sandstones, limestone’s, sand and gravel layers, and highly fractured volcanic and crystalline rocks.  Common aquitards are un-fractured shale’s, clays and dense (un-fractured) crystalline rocks.

Sedimentary aquifers form layers and usually have a large lateral extent, whereas aquifers in fracture zones in igneous and crystalline rocks may have a very limited lateral extent. When searching for water using any geophysical method, including the Electro seismic method, the type of aquifer that may be present should be considered, both when planning a ground water survey and especially when considering drilling a well.

Click to learn more about aquifer types at USGS

• Confined—An aquifer overlain by one or more layers of impermeable rock or soil that restrict water to within the aquifer. The water is confined under pressure. Drilling a well into a confined aquifer releases that pressure and causes the water to rise in the well. These wells are sometimes called artesian wells.

• Unconfined—An aquifer that is not overlain by a layer of impermeable rock or soil. Water in a well will naturally stay at the level of the water table. As water is removed from the well, the water table at that place is lowered, causing the surrounding ground water to flow toward the well.

Whether you are on a fractured rock aquifer, an artesian aquifer, a confined aquifer, an unconfined aquifer or have no groundwater at all,  the benefits of a groundwater survey when planning a new well, far outweigh the costs of drilling a dry well.

Ideal Conditions for a Groundwater Survey Prior to Well Drilling

    Having a reasonable expectation of finding well water prior to drilling a well is a great benefit for the prospective well owner.  Southwest Groundwater Surveyor uses the seismoelectric method for locating the optimal  well drilling location.

    Briefly, the  seismoelectric method, sometimes called electroseismic or Electro Kinetic Seismology (EKS) makes use of a phenomenon, known since the 1950’s, whereby an electrical signal is produced when a seismic wave encounters water within rock pores, such as is the case for an aquifer.  Although the basic Physics of the method has been understood for many years, and numerous field demonstrations have been completed showing the feasibility of the method, it was not until 1996, when a company called Groundflow Ltd. and later AqualocateLLC developed and patented very specific electronics and associated techniques required to measure and interpret the EKS signal, making the method more practical.  Whereby using these techniques, the EKS signal is recorded using a data recording geometry that significantly minimizes naturally occurring electrical noise.  Groundflow Ltd developed the instrumentation to both record this signal and to process the data.  Therefore allowing the existence of groundwater, (if present) to be inferred along with estimates of the depth and the yield of the aquifer.

   Accuracy of interpretation of groundwater data may often be increased if a local well is available where the aquifer depth, thickness and flow rate are known.  In this case a sounding can be conducted close to the well, which gives us a better velocity and acoustic attenuation model for the particular underlying rock matrix. 

   The ideal conditions for a groundwater survey are as follows...

1. Access to the desired test sites on the property by a 4 wheel drive pickup truck.
2. Survey sites must be at least 50 feet away from underground high voltage lines.
3. Surveyors must be able to penetrate the ground surface to a three foot depth.

Finding well water in Johnson Valley

Southwest Groundwater Surveyors was hired to find a water well in Johnson Valley CA by the Johnson Valley Improvement Association. (a very arid desert region of Southern California). After conducting ten seismoelectric tests we determined that the best well water location would yield at least 10 Gallons per minute. The well was drilled by Solomon Drilling of Lucerne Valley CA. We are proud to announce that the Johnson Valley Improvement Center now has all the water they need and the well is yielding in excess of 10 GPM
