PRECIOUS GROUNDWATER
Australia’s national use of groundwater increased by 90% between 1983 and 1996.
And yet, this vital resource is still widely misunderstood, so comprehensive monitoring plans and accurate monitoring techniques are necessary to inform our current and future use of precious groundwater.
4T has been conducting groundwater studies since 1997 for agribusiness, mining and urban clients. Over the years, we have developed our own specialised low-flow groundwater pumping equipment for the types of groundwater bores that we encounter, and the types of monitoring we undertake for our clients.
EQUIPMENT STUDIES
Our groundwater pumping equipment is manufactured specifically for us, by local manufacturers.
All 4T team members are trained and capable to undertake groundwater monitoring and assessments for all situations including landholder bores, village water supplies, compliance monitoring and complex groundwater investigations.
Along with our specialised groundwater pumping equipment, we have developed robust and comprehensive monitoring procedures that ensure repeatability of results.
