Have you ever drilled a dry well? No doubt a costly experience.
Knowing depth and yield before you drill a water well can save hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Water well drillers get paid whether they find water or not. Our water finding services are far less than drilling test wells or dry wells.
American Water Surveyors is dedicated to being the premier service provider in the water finding industry. We use the world’s leading edge technology to measure groundwater depths and yields. Our applications assist ranchers/farmers, municipalities, homeowners, real estate developers, golf course developers, water well drillers and any other entity requiring well locating or completion planning. The transmissivity of water can be mapped from the surface, and yield can be estimated in gallons per minute or liters per second before hiring a water well driller.

There is a universal need for clean water. Only big cities and densely populated areas have piped water. Elsewhere aquifers (groundwater) often provide clean fresh water via wells. In the past the only effective way to find groundwater supplies has been by water well drilling, often with a “water witch” or “dowser”, that is, a magician, claiming to have the divine powers of determining where to drill at a particular location. Drilling is an effective but costly exploration method. The modern oil industry grew in the early twentieth century when drilling was replaced by gravity and then seismic surveying as its principal exploration methods. Seismic reduced exploration costs tenfold and oil exploration and development companies rapidly grew richer than the groundwater business, which was still, and remains, locked into the use of magic to fulfill an essential need. Waterwitching is probably the only form of magic still believed in by a large proportion of the adult population. However, the only effective method for locating groundwater supplies in advance of the drilling is based upon physics, rather than magic. Seismoelectrics is now the technique of choice for cost-conscious groundwater users.
