Groundwater Feasibility and Development
A successful water supply project begins with a strong understanding of the available resource. IGI provides hydrogeologic feasibility studies to support a wide range of applications, including rural rezoning and subdivision development, municipal and domestic water supply, and irrigation projects.
Our assessments evaluate aquifer characteristics, local geology, existing groundwater data, and water quality to determine the viability of groundwater as a long-term supply. Drawing on extensive drilling and field experience throughout British Columbia, we provide practical, science-based recommendations to support sustainable, cost-effective, and regulatory-compliant groundwater development.
