We look for ground that has the highest water content, avoiding areas that are not suitable for a water bore. Water is stored in the ground in pores, cracks and spaces between rock particles, gravel et cetera. Most of this groundwater storage comes from precipitation that infiltrates into the land surface. Water is recycled through the Earth’s system (the water cycle). Bore water comes from groundwater, which in turn comes from rain that has seeped into the ground and is stored in spaces between soil and rocks. The layers and bodies of water in these underground spaces are known as aquifers. Groundwater is brought to the surface using a bore (well).
We can identify areas with in-ground water and map them so you can decide where, and at what depth to fit a water bore. Comply with TA Consent requirements and other regulations and rules.
