WRGS provides groundwater science, hydrogeologic evaluation, permitting support, well field planning, and long-term water resource guidance for municipalities, utilities, water districts, and developers across Texas.
From initial aquifer exploration and evaluation through well field design, permitting, construction management, and long-term water resource planning — we serve municipalities, utilities, groundwater districts, ranchers and large-scale developers across Texas.
WRGS specializes in planning and design of water supply wells for water utilities, and large developments throughout Texas. We evaluate the hydrogeology of the area, work alongside licensed engineers to complete plans and specifications, acquire TCEQ approvals, and oversee the construction of the well. We stay involved through bidding, construction, and final TCEQ approval.
WRGS provides plans and specification, TCEQ approvals and construction oversight to rehabilitate your failing well. Well rehabilitation is often a fraction of the cost of drilling new. We diagnose the problem first — whether it's iron bacteria, plugged screens, sand production, or casing damage — then design a targeted rehabilitation program to restore your well's yield. We manage everything: downhole video surveys, specifications, contractor bidding, and on-site oversight during the rehabilitation work.
WRGS has completed water supply studies within all of the major and most of the minor aquifers throughout the State of Texas. A water supply study allows the client to understand the potential for success of their groundwater supply project and the expected well yield and water quality.
The study identifies the best locations for a well based upon a hydrogeologic evaluation of the area. This is a cost savings because it provides a better idea of costs and budgeting for the project prior to drilling a well.
Water supply studies are also completed for land developers needing to acquire platting of their subdivision. WRGS completes the Certification of Groundwater Availability for Platting Form as required pursuant to Title 30, Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 230.
We also provide groundwater modeling services. Construction of groundwater models to determine the impacts of a water project or determine water availability have ranged from small-scale well sites to large-scale multi-county groundwater models. We have also run the State of Texas Groundwater Availability Models (GAMs) for various aquifers for groundwater permitting purposes.
Well drilling and multi-well or single well aquifer testing provides the data necessary to calculate the hydraulic characteristics of an aquifer.
Combined with water quality testing and other site-specific field exploration programs these data are necessary to make informed decisions about a water resources project.
Our professionals have designed and conducted numerous aquifer exploration and testing programs and will work with you to complete a plan that is cost effective and provides the required answers.
We design the testing plan, provide specifications and contract documents, coordinate bidding to qualified contractors, and provide field oversight during testing programs.
We represent clients before groundwater conservation districts, the TCEQ, SOAH and other state and federal agencies — acquiring well permits, water rights, and navigating the regulatory process.
We also provide expert witness testimony in hydrogeology for legal proceedings involving well disputes, groundwater rights, water quality issues, source water origination, and hydrogeologic modeling.
We use Geographic Information Systems to map and visualize your water resources — from locating the best well sites on your property to building comprehensive infrastructure databases for water utilities.
Our GIS deliverables can manage pipeline networks, storage tanks, meters, easements, and billing data — giving water systems a complete operational picture of their infrastructure.
WRGS has geophysical equipment which we use to perform surveys on your property to determine optimum well locations for drilling.
Surface geophysical methods such as resistivity surveys and seismoelectric surveys are used to measure aquifer properties beneath your land.
With over 24 years of projects across Texas, WRGS brings statewide knowledge, relationships with contractors, regulators and water systems and experience to every project.
From the very beginning we saw as key elements to success the application of sound science and technology in addition to making each client's satisfaction a top priority.
This combination of science and client care has been the driving force in the continuing success of the business.
The company is a leader in applying modern technology to the unique water resources problems in Texas and the United States.
These skills have been applied to such diverse projects as well fields and single public supply wells for utilities to irrigation wells and systems across Texas.
We have also completed water resources studies and water exploration studies in addition to groundwater permitting and modeling for clients looking to expand their water resources capability or for those clients looking for a new source of water.
Water availability for a growing Texas population is a major concern now and in the future. As new challenges in water resources arise, we will be ready to successfully meet them for our clients.
More than two decades of groundwater experience serving municipalities, utilities, groundwater districts, developers, and landowners across Texas.
