Ground Water Hydrologic Studies

Ground water exploration, to identify and develop water supplies for municipalities, farmland, irrigation, and industry, has taken on greater importance in recent years, particularly in the semi-arid Western United States, as more people begin to rely upon existing ground water supplies. To efficiently develop ground water resources, it is critical to understand the local hydrologic environment.
