Should I have a well water location survey done on my property before I buy?


Q: Why should I have a well water location survey completed before I buy a piece of property?

A: Because if the property you are looking at isn't in an area where there is a history of good producing wells, you need a specific amount of water or you are looking at a piece of property to buy but want to know if there is enough groundwater, then it would likely be a wise investment to have a well water location survey completed before you commit to the purchase. Many people select a successful well water location survey as a contingency on the purchase agreement. We suggest that you don't commit to the very substantial purchase of a piece of land before you know it will provide access to the critical resources you will need. 
There are many resources readily available for land owners to conduct research about water wells around their property.
If you are having trouble finding information or don't have the time to complete proper research then contact us at 800.251.2920 and ask for a FREE research consultation. www.aqualocate.com

How does the GF3500 seismo electric (scientific) groundwater surveying system work?

Q: How does the Seismo electric system AquaLocate manufactures and provides groundwater survey with work?
 A: The GF3500 and a seismic source are used together to generate and collect the seismo electric signal. The seismic source is used to create a sound wave (pulse). When the sound wave moves through aquifers the water in the aquifer moves relative to the rock formation. Ions in the water are dragged away from their partners bound to the rock and the electrical disturbance created travels to the surface at the speed of light and is detected by the antenna array.
 Each signal is separated in time from its neighbors by the propagation time of the down going seismic pulse. This gives unambiguous depth and thickness data, as with reflection seismic. The form of each signal gives information about the depth, thickness and quality of the aquifer and this is used to estimate the likely yield from a water well drilled at the survey site.

Groundwater surveying in Onion Creek with science! Well water location, depth & yield before the well drilling begins!


Groundwater surveying with science in Onion Creek WA!
Our team just arrived in Onion Creek to complete a residential groundwater survey! The clients need to know the aquifer location, depth and yield and we’re going to help them find that out Using science!  Onion Creek seems like a really fun place! Check it out!
According to http://www.onioncreekstore.com/index.html  Onion Creek was settled by farmers and loggers in the late 1800's. Relatives of the families that settled here are still living in the area today. The town of   Northport, WA,  13 miles to the north, was a mining boom town. At that time it was a long dirt road from county seat in Colville to the town of Standard (the original name of Onion Creek.) There are no signs of Standard anymore, and the town of Northport has a population of 321. Onion Creek School and Onion Creek General Store are the remaining 'businesses' in Onion Creek.
Community spirit is strong in Onion Creek. Community volunteers built a playground in the park next to the store. Halloween dinner and treats is an annual free event for the children here. Every child in Onion Creek from babies to High School seniors receive a holiday stocking, handmade and filled by caring community members. The Northport food bank  receives generous donations from many people here even if they may be economically disadvantaged. And it is rare to be passed on the roadway if you appear to need a ride.
The original Onion Creek store was built in the late 1970's when a new group of pioneers settled the area. These people set out to build their own log homes and lived off the land, a kind of green movement.

Onion Creek became notorious when a strain of marijuana grown in the area was featured in  High Times Magazine.   The reputation lives on, and helicopters still fly every summer looking for crops. Most of the gardens in Onion Creek  contain vegetables though, and garlic is a popular crop, too.
There are many artistic  and  creative people who live here. The pioneer spirit is still evident too, as there are many people building their own homes, powering with solar, living green  and living off the grid.

 Onion Creek School is an award winning school teaching  preschool through eighth grade. Class sizes are small and personal attention is given to every student. Students have  unique opportunities such as cross country skiing lessons and a school garden. Some classes are still held in the original 1917 school building.  There is no finer educational experience than that of the students at Onion Creek.
