Aquifers:
Overview:
- An aquifer is an underground body of water contained in a rock layer, gravel, sand, or silt from which groundwater can be extracted.
- Aquifers may occur at various depths. Those closer to the surface are not only more likely to be used for water supply and irrigation, but are also more likely to be topped up by the local rainfall.
- Most land areas on Earth have some form of aquifer underlying them and Cameron Exploration can assist in defining where the boundaries of potential water sources exist.
- Over-use of groundwater can lower the water table beyond the reach of existing wells.
- A full analysis of the existing water resource by Cameron Exploration can assist in effective decision making and management practices.
