Professional Hydrogeology Services
Our professional field services include sourcing, drilling oversight, step-testing, constant-rate aquifer testing and groundwater sampling. Within a project area, viable groundwater sources may include freshwater aquifers (<4,000 mg/L Total Dissolved Solids) or saline aquifers (>4,000 mg/L Total Dissolved Solids).
Our team of professional hydrogeologists develop comprehensive groundwater drilling and aquifer testing programs within Western Canada and Texas. Step-testing and constant-rate aquifer testing (pumping tests) are value-added services which help ensure the long-term viability of your newly constructed water supply well.

FAQ – Why does Connate Water always recommend drilling an observation well?
Observation wells allow for the collection of non-turbulent drawdown measurements during pumping and estimation of an aquifer storage parameter (storativity). This is extremely valuable for long term yield projections and multi-year resource development projects.
FAQ – Why do we recommend geophysical logging prior to installation?
Geophysical logging (using a gamma-ray & resistance tool) provides valuable information for confirming observed site lithology, identifying aquifer/aquitard thickness and regional correlation between wells.
