Groundwater Studies
Aquifer Testing & Groundwater Resource Analysis
Quantifying what's below — well siting, pump testing, aquifer modeling, and the technical documentation your permits and decisions require.
Groundwater You Can Count On
Groundwater is the lifeblood of communities, farms, and industries across the West — and understanding it requires more than drilling a well and hoping for the best. Anderson Water Consulting conducts rigorous groundwater investigations that quantify aquifer properties, estimate sustainable yield, and provide the technical foundation for sound resource management.
From initial well siting through pump test analysis and long-term monitoring program design, we provide the complete technical picture. Our groundwater reports are written to withstand regulatory review, peer scrutiny, and, when necessary, courtroom examination.

Capabilities
What We Deliver
Well Siting & Design
Site selection, drilling supervision, and well design for municipal, agricultural, industrial, and domestic water supply — optimized for yield and longevity.
Aquifer Pump Testing
Step-drawdown, constant-rate, and recovery tests to determine transmissivity, storativity, and sustainable yield. Analysis using Theis, Cooper-Jacob, and other methods.
Groundwater Modeling
Numerical and analytical modeling to predict aquifer response to pumping, evaluate interference between wells, and assess long-term sustainability.
Water Level Monitoring
Design and implementation of monitoring networks to track seasonal and long-term water level trends, supporting permit compliance and adaptive management.
Permit Applications & Reports
Technical reports and permit applications for state engineer offices, including water availability analyses, non-interference demonstrations, and beneficial use documentation.
Conjunctive Use Studies
Analysis of surface water and groundwater interactions to support integrated water management, augmentation plans, and prior appropriation compliance.
