Water Resources Applications
Buried Channels, Water Exploration, Potential Contaminant Pathways
Buried Channels
The problem
- Well records, outcrops, and exploratory drilling are currently used to identify buried channels
- Existing water well reports can be lacking in rural areas where few water wells exist.
- Other geophysical methods such as resistivity and high-resolution airborne EM may locate approximate locations but cannot accurately characterize the extent, depth and infill material of these valleys.

Water Exploration
Potential Contaminant
Pathways
The problem
- Tailings ponds containing toxic chemicals need to be frequently monitored to prevent release
- Recent dam collapses indicate underlying soil weakness not previously identified
- Common monitoring methods including drilling and CPT’s require intrusive investigation of these dams
