American Water Surveyors is dedicated to being the premier service provider in the water finding industry. We use the world's leading edge technology to measure groundwater depths and yields, as well as determining salinity and pollution. Our applications assist ranchers/farmers, municipalities, homeowners, real estate developers, golf course developers, well drillers and any other entity requiring borehole siting, completion planning, environmental monitoring, site investigation of saline intrusions, landfill, chemical and radioactive contamination, mine dewatering, geotechnics, tunnel and dam investigations, and quarrying exploration for sand and alluvial gravel. The transmissivity of water can be mapped from the surface, and borehole yield (flow) estimated.

Knowing depth and yield before the drilling takes place can save hundreds if not thousands of dollars of unnecessary expense. Call American Water Surveyors today to find out more about our services or to request a quote.

GROUNDWATER
There is a universal need for clean water. Only big cities and densely populated areas have piped water. Elsewhere aquifers often provide clean fresh water via boreholes. In the past the only effective way to find groundwater supplies has been by drilling, often with a "water witch" or "dowser", that is, a magician, claiming to have the divine powers of determining where to drill at a particular location. Drilling is an effective but costly exploration method. The modern oil industry grew in the early twentieth century when drilling was replaced by gravity and then seismic surveying as its principal exploration methods. Seismic reduced exploration costs tenfold and oil exploration and development companies rapidly grew richer than the groundwater business, which was still, and remains, locked into the use of magic to fulfill an essential need. Waterwitching is probably the only form of magic still believed in by a large proportion of the adult population. However, the only effective method for locating groundwater supplies in advance of the drill is based upon physics, rather than magic. Seismoelectrics is now replacing magic as the technique of choice for cost-conscious groundwater users.
