imaGeau - Coastal Aquifers Management Services
In coastal areas, following a decrease of piezometrical levels caused by excessive pumping and/or droughts seawaters may seep into aquifers as far inland as several kilometres. Such intrusions may also be called salt water wedges. If not carefully monitored and kept under control this phenomenon may compromise the drinkable water supply and economic activity of a whole region.
Close monitoring of salt wedges and accurate data concerning their position are paramount to the optimal management of coastal aquifers.
ImaGeau offer an integrated system based on three complimentary means.
Field instrumentationFor a real time visualisation of the salt wedge’s position and all parameters measured
Hydrogeological survey
Necessary to set up the matrix of an optimal use in regards to the salt wedge. It is based on:
- The geological and hydrogeological features of the site
- The data collected by an uninterrupted monitoring process
- The screen chart-display of all acquired data by means of EMI
