At Nicklin Earth & Water, we specialize in investigating and testing ground-water systems. Most ground-water studies are conducted to evaluate the presence, availability, and quality of ground water. The scale of the study is dependent upon the outlined project objectives. If the project scale is limited, it may be acceptable to rely on existing data or to conduct simple testing. In other situations, especially if potentially significant demands of ground water are proposed, it is generally mandatory to conduct more comprehensive analyses and testing.
