In-field Intelligence for Water and Groundwater Systems

Exploring and surveying the environment on multiple levels and through physical presence, is what sets us apart

Field Surveying

Field surveys are part of the work that we do, whether it is exploratory area research or monitoring the effectiveness of water solutions. Our water experts are often out in the field to measure water quality and quantity of surface water and groundwater. We strongly believe in combining theory and practice, and we base our advice on self-obtained and reliable data through our presence in the field.

High-tech as well as traditional measuring instruments allow us to collect real time field data, such as groundwater levels, flow rates and discharges, soil moisture, pF, oxygen, EC, pH, nitrate, and weather conditions.

The field surveying work we conduct includes salinization and desiccation research, peat oxidation, monitoring precipitation lenses in coastal areas, monitoring underground storage systems, installing monitoring wells with monitoring equipment, surface water monitoring, soil research and mapping aquifers.

Our inhouse measuring instruments are used to perform frequency domain electromagnetic (FDEM) and electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) measurements to study the soil and the water flow.

The DualEM allows us to quickly measure the conductivity of the soil to a depth of 6 meters, which provides information about the depth of the freshwater-saltwater boundary and soil structure.

The CVES gives detailed resistance measurements up to 80 meters depth in the soil to map precipitation lenses, aquifers, and clay and peat layers. The sTEM (see image left) is used in Ethiopia to map aquifers to a depth of several hundred meters.

Projects

Nature-based Solutions for a Climate-Resilient Geul River Valley

Acacia Water, Belgium, Bureau Stroming, H+N+S, Business unit, Country, Germany, Natuurkracht, Netherlands, Water security

Nature-based solutions (NbS) can reduce the likelihood of droughts and floods. For the river basin of the Geul in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, the effects of 10 landscape interventions were modeled using the SWAT+ model (Soil and Water Assessment Tool Plus).

Enhancing Flood Resilience in South Sudan

International Organization for Migration (IOM), South Sudan, Water security

South Sudan has faced prolonged and severe flooding for over many years, To strengthen the communities’ resilience to climate-related disasters, a feasibility assessment was conducted, identifying robust, evidence-based, and community-informed investments.

Water Harvesting in Jordan: Building Resilience Through 3R

Jordan, Water security

Targeting Jordan’s northern regions, critical water challenges posed by climate change, population growth, and human security risks are addressed. This is done through rainwater harvesting, flood risk reduction, groundwater recharge, and reuse strategies.
