Groundwater supply

Groundwater is a resource of often incomparable quality and value. Indeed, in Quebec, it can often be exploited without requiring treatment. Therefore, the capital and operating costs are much lower than those of surface water treatment.

A significant amount of food projects

The staff at Hydro-Ressources has carried out a significant number of groundwater supply projects for municipalities and businesses. For the vast majority of these projects, the results have been positive. Notably, we have contributed to some of the largest water supply projects in the province of Quebec. In several cases, the pumped flows exceeded 40 000 l/min. These substantial quantities of water have helped the operators save millions of dollars in both capital investment and operational costs.

Profile Tracing Test (PTT)

Patented methodology

A profile tracing test is a technique recently adopted by our firm. The concept is simple: it involves introducing a tracer as uniformly as possible into a single open borehole (for example, a diamond drill hole for exploration). Once the tracer is mixed in the borehole, the concentration is measured at various time intervals within the same vertical borehole. Concentration profiles are then generated, and variations in concentration help identify the location of the naturally active flow zone. In fact, when the concentrations decrease, it indicates the presence of flow.
