The first decision is to determine where to drill. There are numerous ways in which we can go about deciding where to place the borehole on your property. We turn to hydro-geologists who make use of various geographical methods to probe beneath the surface. By employing these geophysical methods, scientists are able to infer the subsurface geology of an area.

Groundwater is water located beneath the ground surface in the soil space and in the fractures of lithological formations. A unit of rock or an unconsolidated deposit is called aquifer when its can yield a usable quantity of water. The depth at which soil pore spaces or fractures and voids in rock become completely saturated with water called the water table.

The advance design of Resistivity meter achieves excellent depth penetration up to 600m with relatively low power inputs. It utilizes the signal stacking up to 16 successive reading to achieve good signal enhancement.
