Our Firm's Background and History
AquA Hydrogeologic Consulting, LLC (AquA) is a Nevada company which provides hydrogeologic consulting expertise in the field of ground water development, ground water modeling, mine dewatering, and well rehabilitation. We at AquA believe that there is a need to provide quality and cost effective hydrogeologic services to our clients. It was with this goal in mind that AquA was established in 2001.
At AquA, we believe the development of a successful ground water development and management program starts with a detailed hydrogeologic evaluation of the groundwater problem and culminates with a successful solution to our clients needs. Members of the AquA team have provided expertise in ground water development and management ranging from the installation of a single small diameter water supply well, to installation of large diameter water supply wells and dewatering systems which produce in the range of 1,000 to 4,000 gallons per minute (gpm) and dewatered some of the largest mines in the world.
In addition to providing expertise in the field of water supply development and dewatering, AquA specializes in developing well rehabilitation programs utilizing both chemical and physical techniques which maximizes the well rehabilitation production. In numerous cases the individually designed rehabilitation programs have resulted in production increases of 25 to greater than 50 percent. AquA also specializes in evaluation and development of three-dimensional groundwater flow models used in water resource evaluation and development. These models range in size from basin-wide to site specific. AquA utilizes the state-of-art GMS 6.5 groundwater modeling software in developing the ground water models.
