Alpha Geoscience personnel have extensive experience and training in the application of fracture trace analysis to locate potential sources of ground water and to identify zones of ground water flow in bedrock. The technique involves identifying linear features on topographic maps and air photographs that likely represent fracture zones in bedrock.

Alpha applies this technology to locate ground water in bedrock for clients that need:

• Process water and drinking water at large industrial sites.
• Drinking water for municipalities and other public or private institutions.
• Drinking, irrigation and/or snow production at recreational facilities
• Defining ground water flow zones to determine pathways of potential migration of contaminants away from a source and/or toward a receptor.
• Defining bedrock flow zones that control the orientation and extent of drawdown effects from pumping wells and dewatering operations.
