Clients & Projects City of Hamilton, Ohio - Well and wellfield capacity testing and modeling support of an application for increased withdrawal and well construction supervision and testing
Hamilton operates several very high-capacity well fields in the Miami River Valley aquifer for both potable and power plant cooling supply in a highly developed urban-suburban setting. Work includes characterizing wellfield performance, updating and correcting the existing regionally constructed MODFLOW model of the aquifer, and pioneering projecting output in GIS to provide detailed visual representation of impacts on known geographical locations, plus technical assistance in liaison with Ohio EPA and other regional entities. A virtual redoing of antiquated MODFLOW files and reporting was conducted in two months on schedule. New well specifications, construction supervision and testing on rapid timescales for power cooling has been completed. Planning included interaction with PRPs of a Superfund site, a test drilling program (including sonic methods in deep, coarse glacial material), design and installation of a monitoring array, and well design, construction supervision and testing. We can handle your big job.

What kind of work do we do? Here is an example:
Village of New Washington, OH & McGhee Technical Water Services Inc. – Aquifer exploration
New Washington operated a marginal surface water supply for many years. “Conventional wisdom” is that ground water is unavailable in municipal capacity in the area. Ground Water Science conducted preliminary exploration and worked with the village to test out viable aquifer targets for the village to explore. We identified a sand-and-gravel buried-valley aquifer to the east of the village, however land constraints did not permit exploration of that resource. A high-capacity carbonate aquifer supply was identified some miles to the west, and this was tested, indicating well capacities > 500 gal/min could be expected. Economic constraints prevented developing that wellfield, and the village has since tied into a regional water system. While it did not work out this time, northern Crawford County or the City of Bucyrus could develop a regional ground water supply for a water-poor area ( and we know where that water is).
