The Hemmera Water Resources team includes hydrogeologists, engineers, geologists and risk assessors, backed by strong relationships with drilling sub-contractors. Based on surface water and groundwater analyses, our comprehensive water resource planning determines the optimal withdrawal rates for safe, sustainable yields.

Resource Evaluation: sourcing, exploration and assessment
- Review and compilation of government and academic data
- Geologic mapping and remote sensing (fracture trace)
- Surface Geophysics
- Exploratory drilling (domestic, community and industrial)
- Production and injection well design and installation
