Alpha Geoscience identifies potential surface water and ground water sources and investigates the suitability of the supplies for drinking and/or processing purposes depending on the client needs. Alpha provides services that range from initial scoping of client needs through investigation, development, rehabilitation and gaining regulatory approval, as needed for clients that include:
- Commercial Spring Water and Bottled Water Suppliers.
- Municipalities.
- Recreational facilities.
- Industrial and commercial sites.
- Residential developments.
- Private residences.
|
|
Projects are often undertaken in phases depending on the stage of the project when Alpha is asked to participate. Alpha personnel are experienced in the full range of water supply/resource services that include:

|
- Source identification (Phase I Investigation), which can include aquifers, springs and surface water bodies.
- Source quantity and quality assessment (Phase II Investigation).
- Securing regulatory approvals including, Department of Health and Department of Environmental Conservation.
- Well field rehabilitation.
|
Projects involve a variety of tasks which vary depending on the type of water source, the relative size of the source, the required quantity/quality, potential impacts of the source use on others who rely on the source, potential impacts by others on the source quality or quantity, and the condition of the source/supply if it is a pre-existing system requiring maintenance or upgrades. Alpha personnel are trained and have extensive experience in:
- Fracture trace analyses.
- Aquifer delineation, testing and analysis. Subsurface hydrogeologic investigation.
- Well installation and development.
- Pumping tests to evaluate well capacity, aquifer yields, well field production capacity and long term safe yields.
- Well rehabilitation.

|
 |
- Stream and spring flow measurements, water quality testing, and spring yield analysis.
- Assessment of recharge areas for spring and aquifer systems.
- Ground water computer modeling.
- Preparation of reports to provide results of investigations and testing and to obtain regulatory approval of potable water supplies.
