Groundwater Resource Evaluation
Quantification of groundwater resources involves detailed technical analyses and is often performed during development of land. Martin and Wood assists municipalities, developers and private entities with the evaluation of their groundwater resources, including any potential connections to the surface stream system.
Village Homes Project
When Village Homes, LLC, was looking to develop a new subdivision near the Town of Bennett east of Denver, water supply was a major concern, so they contacted Martin and Wood. The Town had a requirement for bringing a large amount of water to the Town if annexation were to occur as the developers had planned, yet no surface water supplies exist in the area.
Using historical maps of deep water wells and their corresponding circles of appropriation, Martin and Wood calculated the remaining available water beneath the property and compared this to the needs of the community. Village Homes then used this supply-demand assessment in their decision making process.
