Water & wells

Find water before you drill.

Drilling a dry hole is expensive. Our hydrogeologists read the ground first โ€” siting wells, studying groundwater, and handling the testing and permits โ€” so your water project starts on solid science.

What we do

Groundwater, start to finish

From siting a domestic well to a full hydrogeologic study, we bring the science that keeps water projects on budget and in compliance.

๐Ÿ”Ž

Well Siting

Hydrogeologic evaluation and fracture-trace analysis to place your well where the water actually is.

๐Ÿ•ณ๏ธ

Drilling Oversight

Program design, driller coordination and on-site supervision so the borehole is done right.

๐Ÿ’ง

Groundwater Studies

Aquifer characterization, yield estimates and basin studies for landowners, ag and agencies.

๐Ÿงช

Water-Quality Testing

Sampling and lab coordination to confirm your water is safe, potable and meets standards.

๐Ÿงซ

Percolation (Perc) Testing

Perc tests and soil evaluation for septic systems, leach fields and site development.

โ™จ๏ธ

Geothermal Exploration

Assessment of geothermal resources and heat-flow potential across the Great Basin.

Why siting first pays

A little science beats a lot of luck.

A well is one of the biggest gambles a rural property owner takes. Drilling blind can mean a dry hole, poor yield, or bad water โ€” and thousands of dollars gone.

We reduce that risk before the rig shows up, using geology and hydrogeology to point the driller at the best target and set realistic expectations for depth and yield.

  • โœ“Lower the odds of a dry or low-yield hole
  • โœ“Right-size depth, casing and budget up front
  • โœ“Keep permits and water-quality compliance on track
