Lack of monitoring puts water sources at risk
Accurate and frequent monitoring of sources is vital to maintaining confidence in a groundwater supply, whether from a borehole or natural spring. With an unpredictable climate and increased concern for flooding, groundwater supplies need protection from the risks of deterioration in yield or quality. Moreover, by 2012 all water supply licences will have a time limit and will need data to support any application for renewal.
Zenith International’s Water & Environment team has installed and operated automatic monitoring systems for a range of clients, measuring everything from individual borehole water levels to the complex Bath Hot Springs where flows, temperatures and pressures are kept under constant review for this key part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. “As the City of Bath moves into a new era with the opening of its Thermae Bath Spa leisure development," comments Zenith Water & Environment Director Peter Easton, "we can be confident that careful monitoring of the pre-Roman springs will help to understand their workings and to protect them from the potential impact of further building developments in the area.”
Automatic monitoring of a source enables a regular check on the sustainability of its yield and quality. A groundwater supply is a valuable and often fundamental company asset. “Even where problems do not arise,” states Peter Easton, ”a continuous record of data will instil confidence in customers and potential future owners”.
The installation and management of monitoring systems is one of the many services provided by Zenith International’s groundwater consultancy team, providing advice on safe development and protection of groundwater resources throughout the United Kingdom and beyond.
