WATER SERVICES

The surface and groundwater consulting services offered cover the full spectrum of water resource exploration, evaluation, development, monitoring and managements activities to ensure the wise, responsible and sustainable exploration of these resources.

The predominant water division follows a pragmatic approach to groundwater investigations which also recognize the natural environment as an integral component of the hydrogeological regime. This approach ensures complete objectivity with regard to environmental studies where the impact of human activities on the groundwater regime is a concern. Services offered include;

• Reconnaissance and preliminary groundwater resource assessment investigations
• Feasibility studies for sub-regional groundwater supply
• Air-borne geophysical surveys (TDEM, High Res Mag)
• Ground geophysical investigations which includes Magnetic, Electromagnetic, Gravity and 2D Resistivity
