2. Got a minute? Let us review: Why us?
 Quality experience
 Versatility
 Problem-solving

3. In short: We help you get
water, save energy, save
assets, save money

4. You have a lot at stake with
your facility… We find and “prove”
water and help you to
improve your ground-
water system's
function and reliability

5. Have interesting new neighbors?
• Monitor
• Protect
• Supply water to

6. A lot of people
do basic
hydrogeology
and testing:
Our unique
strength is in
using analysis
to creatively
solve problems
Problem: Ammonia near a
wastewater lagoon system

7. We offer hydrogeologic science and
planning by professionals experienced in
ALL the testing, planning, field issues,
modeling and troubleshooting...
So you get the
whole picture for
your planning

8. All water planning depends on good field data...
We are hands-on, precise and we know the
value of warm Carhartstm or covering up at 5o S

9. In a variety of geologic settings

10. We site, plan and test wells for a variety
of needs in any hydrogeologic setting,
including deep rock aquifer wells like
this one.
We also supervise construction: You
know what goes into the ground.

11. Accurate and valid well and aquifer testing
helps in planning:
 source water protection
 well/wellfield pumping
 water facility planning

12. We help you put a
stop to hazards to
ground-water
flow, pressure &
quality, such as
this long-
abandoned
flowing well in
west-central Ohio.

13. Ground-water systems:
Basic truths...
 If there are water plant process problems,
there are or will be well performance problems
 If there are well problems, there are
downstream system problems: treatment and
distribution

14. Well system asset management
and sustainability planning...
 You can plan for long-term well system life
 You can plan rational lifetime well system
service costs
 It takes some good information to plan
 We help you get that information
 We help you develop the plan, implement
and train.

15. Multiple biological and
mechanical damage to
well components
We help you plan to avoid such
problems and to assure long life
and minimal well maintenance.
This planning always pays for
itself.

16. Good information on your ground-water
quality and its biological content results in
optimized water treatment plants with
minimal maintenance troubles

17. We rapidly define
causes of process
problems: often
on-site

18. We perform biofouling analysis for leading
commercial labs, water suppliers, and “big name”
firms across the USA – occasionally beyond…

19. Microscopy permits
presumptive
identification of
filamentous iron and
sulfur bacteria, as
well as various other
“critters”, particles
and minerals. We
provide quality
results and
documentation for
water supply.

20. A well screen under there
somewhere under the bio clog…

21. We use a range of
methods – combined with
expert analysis – to
diagnose problems:
We pioneered field
methods in solving
wellfield and drain
system issues.

22. Not everything clogging is
biological – We sleuth out the
geological and mechanical
causes too
Combinations of issues ….

23. We’re there, not sitting in a
cubicle somewhere…

25. Don’t have wells? Many structures
have ground water issues and
problems with biofouling ...
Your dam's toe
drains and
weep holes –
Are they
working the
way they
should?
Are you sure?

26. "Can't afford planning and
maintenance," you say?
How can you afford not to
plan and maintain your
ground water supply?
What we do is affordable
and it pays for itself over
and over in pumps and kWs
saved
“We’re
expensive!”

27. We work
with you
Together... With our expertise and your on-site
quality and management, we're on top of
what's going on in your ground-water supply
