National Ground Water Well Association, Westerville, OH - Wide range of projects
Ground Water Science and its predecessor have provided services on a wide range of projects since 1984. For example, (1) NGWA selected Ground Water Science to conduct a FEMA-funded study of emergency well disinfection methods to refine response to large-scale flooding events such as hurricanes. The project involved literature reviews and testing disinfection methods on a variety of wells in coastal North Carolina affected by Hurricane Floyd in 1999, and involves a well inspection and treatment subcontractor (EGIS, P.A., Chapel Hill, NC) and peer review of results. (2) Ground Water Science was also selected to develop a training program for well inspectors for the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Mercer County is a growing area of the state with increased water demands. However, the county’s major municipal supplier is faced with quantity limits and quality problems with its lake water source, managed by its sophisticated water treatment plant at great cost. Efforts to secure surface or ground water supplies are further hampered by the proximity of the Lake Erie-Gulf of Mexico watershed divide.
The county is developing new ground water supplies for domestic and planned industrial water supply. Wells were inspected and aquifer testing conducted to prove capacity and to determine a strategy for expansion within constraints. Ground Water Science is working closely with engineers Fanning & Howey on wellfield planning and testing.
“A clean well is a happy well.” Regular cleaning and maintenance head off conditions that cause the authorities to take action against you.
