PureTech Hydro

Pump testing and groundwater analysis you can rely on

We design, run and analyse bore pump tests, and turn the results into a clear answer: how much water the bore can safely supply, and how the aquifer will respond.

Services

From planning the test to the final report, for water supply, irrigation, mining and community bores.

Test pumping programs

A test planned around the bore and what you need to know.

  • Step-drawdown tests
  • Constant rate tests
  • Recovery monitoring
  • Observation bores

Pump test analysis

Proven analytical methods and numerical modelling, matched to the aquifer.

  • Well efficiency and well losses
  • Transmissivity and storativity
  • Confined, leaky and unconfined aquifers
  • Boundaries and directional flow

Bore yield assessment

A recommended long-term pumping rate and pump setting, with the drawdown you can expect over time.

Smart pump telemetry

Our test pumps hold the rate steady and log flow and water level throughout, sent back for checking as the test runs.

Clear reports

Charts, results and recommendations in a report written for owners and regulators alike.

How we work

Every test follows the same simple path.

Plan

We look at the bore, the aquifer and the purpose, and design a test to suit.

Pump

Step and constant rate tests are run with the smart pump, then recovery is monitored.

Analyse

The data are analysed with the methods that fit the aquifer's behaviour.

Report

You receive the findings and a recommended pumping rate.
