What We Do
Groundwater Availability
From small developments in need of certification of groundwater availability to assessing the availability of groundwater resources for long-term supply, we have experience quantifying reliable long-term groundwater production to meet your projected demands. Our experience includes conducting desktop studies, coordinating drilling and testing, and developing quantitative groundwater models.
Permitting Support
The myriad of permitting requirements can be quite daunting. Allow the experts at KT Groundwater to assist you with your permitting needs. We are experienced with Texas Commission on Environmental Quality approvals and permitting, including: public water supply wells, Class I and Class V injection wells, and Aquifer Storage & Recovery. We have also assisted clients with Groundwater Conservation District permitting to obtain drilling and production permits.
Quantitative Groundwater Modeling
Groundwater modeling is the process of using computer models to simulate and predict groundwater flow and contaminant transport. While we have vast experience modeling groundwater flow, our Team's experience goes beyond modeling flow to assess predicted water level changes in wells and aquifers. Our experts have the tools and knowledge to model groundwater flow, aquifer recharge, and subsurface compaction and its effect on subsidence.
Well Design and Completion Support
Our team has prepared specifications and worked on wells capable of producing more than 5,000 gallons per minute. We partner with design engineers to assist clients in their development of public supply wells to meet growing demands. Our work includes being on-site during well completion to document contractor's performance relative to the client's specifications.
Groundwater Management and Joint Planning
Much like the lakes we see at the surface, groundwater is a finite resource. We work with groundwater conservation districts to support their management of the local groundwater resources as technical consultants for the district in some cases and for permittees in others. We understand the roles districts serve to manage the resources and develop estimates of available groundwater to meet future needs.
Expert Witness
Mr. Keester has served as a designated hydrogeologic expert during multiple cases. We can apply our experience and expertise in assessing groundwater flow and the effects of pumping to support our clients.
