Hydrogeological studies

Hydrogeological studies to help decide where to site a well

We analyse the geological, hydrogeological and topographic characteristics of the study area to identify the comparatively most favourable location for a groundwater abstraction.

Better information before investing in drilling

A preliminary hydrogeological study helps you decide where to consider a well or borehole. We compare different areas and explain which option has the most favourable conditions according to the available evidence.

The first step is to identify the correct property. You can check it visually before submitting your request. AgroClim provides the preliminary technical study; it does not carry out drilling.

01

Where could I site a well on my land?

We study the whole area to compare alternatives and guide the siting of a possible abstraction.

02

Which area should I consider before drilling?

An explained recommendation supports a better-informed decision before committing to that investment.

03

What if the ground conditions are difficult?

We compare the available options without ruling out a property solely because of its general conditions.

04

How will I understand the result?

You receive clear maps and conclusions explaining the recommendation and the scope of the study.

Deliverable

What the client receives

A preliminary technical study tailored to the area, to support decisions about a possible groundwater abstraction.

  • Assessment of the study area. A summary of the relevant geological, hydrogeological and topographic characteristics.
  • Recommended area and alternatives. A location and explanation of the comparatively most favourable option where the evidence supports a distinction; alternatives where useful.
  • Clear maps. Maps of the property and areas considered, to help explain the recommendation.
  • Conclusions and next steps. What can be supported technically, remaining uncertainties and further checks worth considering.

The scope and deliverables are agreed before commissioning. See our questions about the scope of the study.

What the study can offer

Does the study guarantee that I will find water?

The presence, yield or depth of an abstraction cannot be guaranteed before drilling. The aim is to reduce uncertainty and identify the comparatively most favourable area using the available evidence.

Will I receive a recommended location?

Where the evidence supports differences between areas, the study proposes a location and explains the recommendation. If no defensible distinction exists, this is stated explicitly rather than presenting one point as superior.

Does it include drilling or field tests?

The current service is a preliminary technical study. It does not include drilling, pumping tests or field campaigns. Any further checks needed will be identified in the conclusions.

What information do I need to request a study?

The location and details needed to identify your property. The form helps you locate it and confirm the correct area.

Does the study replace permission to drill?

No. It provides a technical assessment. Any permissions and other requirements must be checked separately before carrying out the abstraction.

Before drilling

Are you considering a borehole or well on your property?

Tell us which property you want studied and check that the located area is correct. The initial assessment is free and carries no obligation.
