 An accurate assessment of the quantity and quality of
ground and surface water is a fundamental requirement in order to ensure the
sustainability of life. Water from underground sources, commonly known as
aquifers, is used throughout the world for drinking water supply and
agricultural uses, such as crop irrigation.
The quantity of water in
the underground source depends upon the underlying geology, local rainfall and,
of course, the rate of abstraction. The use of long-term monitoring instruments
inserted into small diameter boreholes enables an accurate assessment to be
made of the amount of water present underground by measuring water
levels.
 Ground water quality can
also be measured and it is increasingly important to make an assessment of the
degree of pollution that is occurring in the water as a result of human
activity - for example landfill sites and industrial pollution.
Man's
increasing demand for clean and safe drinking water can also result, near
coastal sites, in ground water becoming mixed with salty water, which is being
pulled into the aquifer from the sea - a phenomenon known as saline intrusion.
Water resources in aquifers and also water quality, but not exclusively saline
intrusion - can be measured effectively over long periods of time by Dynamic
Logic's products. The information obtained can be used to study short and long-
term trends - leading to informed predictions and decision making. |
