1. Survey interpretation
Review the recommended target, estimated aquifer depth and thickness, and the uncertainties in the interpretation. Ask why one target is preferred over another.

From survey findings
to a tested well.
A groundwater survey helps you compare potential drilling targets. To understand the outcome, compare the survey interpretation with the drilling record and the completed well’s test results.
These records answer different questions. An interpreted target is a planning recommendation; drilling and testing establish what is actually present.
Three parts of the picture
2. Drilling record
Compare the actual drilled depth and formations with the interpretation. Review the well construction and water-bearing zones recorded during drilling.
Explore well-record resources →3. Well testing
Review pump-test information for the completed well and water-quality test results for the intended use. A survey sounding does not sample water.
Plan the next steps →What to ask about your findings
- Where is the preferred drilling target, and what supports that choice?
- What depth range should the drilling contractor plan for?
- What remains uncertain, including possible low production or unsuccessful drilling?
- How will the completed well’s supply be assessed against household, livestock or business needs?
- Which records and test results will be supplied, and by whom?
Published project examples
Verified customer case studies are not currently published on this page. Before sharing a project outcome, we need supporting survey, drilling and test records and permission to publish the relevant information.
We do not present estimated depth or potential production as a measured well result. Results from another property do not guarantee the result on yours.
