Our experience has shown us, however, that no matter the size, the areas in which you operate depend on groundwater access for the longevity of your operation. We’re committed to developing, protecting and maintaining groundwater resources for future generations.
Australia is in a unique position with regards to groundwater. While globally, groundwater accounts for only 2% of water – in Australia, 17% of our available water resources comes from groundwater.
Agriculture projects, particularly those based in Australia, should be taking groundwater into account as part of their overarching water management plans, in order to protect investments now and for future generations.
A reliable water supply is fundamental to the success of feedlots and crop production using irrigation and bores. Locating and successfully procuring water that is sustainable long term can be difficult. Issues of increased salt levels, waste contamination, groundwater evaporation, and Australia’s variable rainfall can impact the long-term management of your operation.
At AGE, we have experts who can monitor and use predictive model trends to maintain or promote sustainable water management of your existing aquifers. If the need arises, we can also assist in locating new or alternative bores. Our support doesn’t end there, as we have capacity and the experience to obtain licensing and approvals for new water supplies and can supervise the drilling process.
Our groundwater work also covers water confined under artesian pressure.
Larger regions have a range of sub artesian and artesian water, which are all impacted by bore consumption, rainfall and temperature ranges. Our team’s experience and knowledge of these water sources allows our specialists to design monitoring systems and map the future sustainability of extraction.
These monitoring systems integrate climate history and future forecasting alongside bore pressure and water quality data to model and scenario test, providing you with valuable and actionable advice and reporting.
Our breadth of expertise in hydrogeology, hydrogeochemistry and numerical modelling means we specialise in end-to-end groundwater services. View more of our projects for our range of experience.
