Aquifer Testing

Test Pumping is a practical and reliable method of estimating well performance, well yield, the zone of inf uence of the well, water quality and aquifer characteristics. Test pumping is always specif ed when a new well is to be licensed. Toniwens has a wide range of in-house submersible pumps, data loggers, f ow meters and all ancillary equipment needed to carry out aquifer testing to a high standard. Records and reports are provided in the required format

Water Analysis

Groundwater produced by boreholes is generally very good quality. However to be certain, samples are taken on the completion of a new borehole and taken to an approved laboratory for testing. Testing is carried out for microbiological contamination as well as mineral content. Where necessary the laboratory makes recommendations regarding the potential need for water treatment devices, such as: softeners, reverse osmosis units, distillation, neutralizers, chlorination systems, ultraviolet or UV systems. If the borehole is to be used for public supply, regular analysis may be needed for the local environmental health department.
