The Importance Of Ground Water Monitoring

In any environmental information system, groundwater monitoring is a critical component. On the basis of validated groundwater monitoring data, information is obtained that may be used to make informed judgments. Constant monitoring offers the necessary data input for your smart environment and serves as the fundamental building block of the decision-making process in the areas of spatial planning and climate change adaptation, among other things. As is true in all situations, the rule of thumb is that one measurement is not a measurement.

When monitoring groundwater continuously you can:

• Monitor the long-term viability of an aquifer as a reliable source of safe and steady water supply and alter suitable policies as needed.
  Discover subsurface contaminants, calculate the speed and direction of contamination flow, and narrow down the sources of the contaminants to a manageable level.
• Manage groundwater levels and protect the environment from damage caused by saltwater intrusion, drought, and flooding. In addition to providing data on which actions can be created, the groundwater monitoring network also provides information on when to adjust the settings of your water management system.
• Adapt to the effects of climate change. Groundwater monitoring networks will allow water boards and municipalities to provide drought and flood alerts in real-time and take suitable mitigation steps as a result of the network’s existence.
• To summarise, continuous groundwater monitoring is required to maintain or improve our water quality and to ensure that our water supply remains consistent. With over 100 years of experience in soil and water-related projects, Eijkelkamp Soil & Water is well aware of the implications and necessity of a high-quality measurement network for soil and water.

With Falcon Survey Engineering Consultants, the focus is on you and your individual measurement requirements, rather than on the technology itself. Based on your requirements, we provide groundwater monitoring services in UAE. We design and install a groundwater monitoring network, which includes an online environment that allows you to gain insight into your groundwater problem.
