Groundwater & Hydrogeology

WYG provides groundwater evaluation and development studies by an experienced team of specialist groundwater engineers, hydrogeologists, geologists and ecologists. WYG professionals have a detailed understanding of the chemistry and dynamics of groundwater systems and their interaction with surface waters and related wetland habitats.
We specialise in planning issues and environmental impacts resulting from significant groundwater abstractions. These considerations are especially important where the environmental impacts are required either due to the size of the groundwater abstraction or the sensitivity of the ecological setting.
