Would you say..... a combination like Spock and Dr. McCoy? These methods are apt for a number of geological and hydrogeological purposes and projects. Happy Friday!
Happy Friday! On this date in 1966, Star Trek aired for the first time on TV. And while we could speculate for days about the geology of the universe portrayed in Star Trek – why not highlight something even more exciting? Like the riveting pair that Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI) and borehole geophysics can make for all your groundwater resource evaluation needs….Seriously. The subsurface information gathered from ERI can be used to assess depths to rock and groundwater, potential for preferential flow, karst, and other geologic structures. This data can also be used to assess locations and target depth intervals for exploratory borings and wells. Taking it one step further, borehole geophysics can help squeeze more data out of every borehole. What is the fracture orientation and density? Which fractures produce groundwater flow? What are the hydraulic conductivities, flow rates, and the vertical gradient direction? Borehole geophysical tools can help identify and estimate these parameters. Methods such as Gamma logging and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) can even be run through existing PVC wells. Indeed, this pairing goes well with seepage evaluations, site subsurface characterizations, groundwater resource evaluations, and all other late-night cravings. Now, I bet you already forgot about Star Trek. Let Nova Geotechnologies know if we can help with your projects.
