Another Successful Seismo electric groundwater survey!
A client obtained by a Colorado operator of the GF3500
(Louis) through AquaLocate had already experienced one dry well and one very
low yield well prior to contacting Louis.
Both wells were drilled within 20 feet of each other by the same
drilling contractor.
The client
contacted Louis and had a survey completed.
Due to very poor testing conditions, Louis told the client that further
testing would not likely result in good quality data. The client still wanted Louis to complete
more testing to which Louis complied.
Once the testing was complete Louis provided him with a report which
indicated there was very little likelihood of obtaining a sufficient amount of
water. The client chose to drill anyway
and hired the same drilling contractor he previously used. The drilling contractor had significant
trouble drilling the well and finally gave up due to those problems.
The client rehired Louis to complete more
testing on different part of his property and this time Louis asked Ervin
Kraemer of AquaLocate to help interpreting the new seismo-electric data.
In spite of the marginal data quality due to
the testing condition, Ervin told Louis that the best site would likely yield
between 2 and 6 gallons per minute at a depth of 330 feet.
The final well was drilled by a new drilling
contractor (Justice Water Systems, INC).
The final well depth was 313 feet and the final yield was 5 gallons per
minute. Needless to say, the client is
very happy and in turn, Louis is very happy with the data interpretation assistance
he received from AquaLocate.
