Groundwater monitoring as a basis for good drinking water quality
Our groundwater is one of the most important resources for high-quality drinking water. The purity of the supply must therefore be checked regularly.
WESSLING is your reliable partner and advises you on groundwater monitoring and the remediation of polluted groundwater reserves. Our engineers, in close cooperation with you, develop the ideal solution for your situation. Whether with hydrogeological expert opinions, support with water rights applications, remediation or preventive measures - benefit from our more than 35 years of expertise. On request, we combine our consulting services with our extensive analytical services in our independent and accredited laboratories.

Hydrogeology
Assuring water quality: hydrogeological expertises and site analyses
Our engineers advise authorities, water suppliers and industrial companies with regard to their groundwater. They thereby provide the information for securing and increasing production capacities and for preparing applications for water rights.
The quantity and quality of our water resources depend on variables, which essentially rely on the hydrogeological subsurface conditions in the catchment area of water extraction. With our hydrogeological expertise and site analyses you are on the safe side: Using state-of-the-art software, we collect all the required data for you, conduct an evaluation and three-dimensional modelling - and finally also take over the documentation.
This provides you with an individually tailored database in which all important information, relevant to water management, is regularly updated.

Data management
WESSLING data management - keep track of large amounts of data
WESSLING advises you on the digital archiving of the measured values of your water analyses, water level measurements and boreholes. We create information and documentation systems with which you always keep track by bringing together all relevant data for visualisation.
In order to effectively manage a large amount of measurement data and process it in an informative way, digitally supported archiving makes sense. For this task WESSLING uses the software "EQuIS" (Earthsoft). "EQuIS" is an information and documentation system for the collection and evaluation of environmentally relevant data. All information is combined and visualised in a database: from the geological layer description of the boreholes through the development data of the groundwater measuring points and production wells to the data for groundwater tapping and groundwater chemistry.
Our data management services
- Set-up and database design, including regular maintenance of customer-specific data
- Digitisation of technical data, transfer of old data (e.g. chemical analyses, soil profiles, operating data)
- Digitisation of analogue data and basic maps
- Design and implementation of digital "data streams" between laboratory, database and geoinformation system (GIS)
- Development of thematic maps and evaluations (e.g. groundwater quality, groundwater balance plans, digital terrain models)
- Use of models for interpolation (e.g. mass and volume models, groundwater flow and transport models)
- 2D and 3D visualisation, distribution of processed data and maps (prints, geospatial PDF)
