Climate change observed worldwide will have perceptible impacts on the groundwater resources in Germany, as well. This will result in a more and more challenging groundwater management. At the same time, the quality awareness of the consumer continues to increase. For the consumer it is natural to have an area-wide, reliable drinking water supply.

When it comes to alimentation, the consumer tends more and more to mineral water. By legislation, this product offered by nature, has been made the only food product requiring official admission. The growing importance of mineral water is underlined by the fact that its annual  consumption per capita has almost quintupled since 1977 to reach about 130 L at present.

For many decades, we have been dealing with all varieties of mineral water and drinking water development, beginning with the geological investigation to development to legal stability and finally to a continuous follow-up of groundwater use. Hereby, we trust on a team of experts of all associated professional fields. Our services include among others:


Investigation

The investigation of groundwater to recover

  • natural mineral water
  • natural spring carbon dioxide
  • thermal water
  • drinking water
  • service water
  • cooling water

is preceded by a site inspection. This includes aspects of hydrogeology, use of the surroundings and groundwater protection as well as water balance. These geological and hydrogeological expertises lead to a precise drilling concept for technical development.


Design and Development

  • Conceptional design,  coordination of licensing procedures and establishment of tender documents for:
    • drilling of well structures
    • groundwater monitoring wells
    • structures of spring captation
    • water catchment plants
    • storage containers
    • pumping and treatment methods
    • water lines
  • Coordination of approval permits
  • Construction supervision and management
  • Local construction supervision
  • Cost management
  • Documentation


Use

  • Establishment of
    • legal permission requests
    • environmental impact assessments
    • application reports for mineral water admission
    • requests for official admission as medical spring
    • requests for admission as medical products/local cures
    • requests for admission as protected areas
  • Groundwater modeling
  • Groundwater monitoring and geographic information systems
