Background
The current position in the development and administration of environmental regulations by all levels of government has contributed to the creation of a vibrant, world-class environmental services industry. Source Water Protection efforts in Ontario illustrate the critical need to better understand the quality and quantity of groundwater as population growth continues to put pressure on this valuable resource. Municipal water managers now require a better understanding of their current regional groundwater resources to ensure the protection and service of existing and future developments. Likewise, environmental site managers need to also closely monitor groundwater as part of their environmental compliance efforts.
Schlumberger Water Services (SWS) is involved in the implementation and monitoring of projects designed to comply with regulations. The effective planning, management and maintenance of a groundwater monitoring network is critical for acquiring the data needed to make informed decisions. SWS has been effectively leveraging its proprietary technology and expertise to deliver groundwater data to clients. Through the adoption of a managed monitoring network solution, SWS clients are better able to make decisions about the management of groundwater resources in a timely manner.
Challenges
Traditional means of managing a groundwater monitoring network involve manual data collection methods like water level tapes, the use of field technicians with varying skills and abilities, recurring costs for the purchase of new field equipment and vehicle maintenance, and the management of multiple contractors for drilling, well rehabilitation and sample testing.
The challenges associated with these standards of practice include:
Finding cost-effective methods for obtaining the quantities of groundwater data required
Obtaining accurate and reliable field measurements
Recording seasonal variations in water levels due to rain events and pumping
Managing volumes of data to provide timely information to decision makers
Managing multiple contractors for maintaining and expanding your monitoring network
The SWS Advantage
Schlumberger Water Services’ (SWS) managed groundwater monitoring networks provide our clients with complete customizable solutions to these challenges.
Access to our highly skilled team of hydrogeologists, geoscientists, environmental scientists and environmental engineers, without the associated personnel costs, reduces your risk exposure to staffing changes and training costs. Having one point of contact for all of your monitoring network needs reduces operational overhead.
As developers of the field-to-office technology used to manage a groundwater monitoring network, SWS delivers the results our clients require. Our clients also benefit from SWS’ ongoing global product research and development efforts.
Given the current mandatory compliance requirements found in Certificates of Approval, Permits to Take Water, and Environmental Assessments, a managed groundwater network solution from Schlumberger Water Services provides a logical choice for many water professionals.
A SWS managed monitoring solution can be applied to the monitoring of municipal water supply well fields; compliance monitoring of agricultural, commercial, and industrial activities; surveillance monitoring at sanitary landfills; contaminated site investigations; studying the impacts of mine dewatering; and estimating ecological impacts influenced by changes in groundwater levels.
