Hydrogeology

We develop hydrological and hydraulic studies aimed at characterizing the dynamic regime of basins and sheets of water. Integrating numerical modeling, statistical analysis of floods and GIS tools, we develop studies of flood risk and delimitation of public hydraulic domain, fundamental for territorial planning and flood risk management. Based on the methodologies and use of the software used to study flood scenarios, we have developed techniques for estimating the evolution of non-Newtonian liquids in the event of failure events.

We characterize the hydraulic behavior of the subsoil through pumping tests, permeability tests and geophysical techniques. This analysis allows us to know the hydraulic conductivity, flow regimes and storage capacity of the materials, providing essential data for modeling, collections or impact studies.

We carry out comprehensive studies aimed at understanding how the underground environment works. We analyse recharge, flow directions, interaction with civil engineering or mining works, and the aquifer's response to operational scenarios. These studies provide a clear overview that facilitates planning, risk prevention and responsible resource management.

We evaluate the chemical quality of the water and its temporal evolution, identifying hydrogeochemical processes, origins of the resource and possible sources of alteration. This analysis is essential to define the suitability of water for different uses, anticipate corrosion or scaling problems and establish aquifer protection measures.

We develop numerical models that simulate the hydrogeological behavior of the environment. We represent piezometric levels, flows, recharge, interaction with infrastructure and possible effects derived from pumping or excavations. The models allow us to anticipate scenarios, optimize decisions and design safe and sustainable exploitation strategies.

We determine optimal and safe flows for catchments and supply systems, integrating geological, hydraulic and regulatory factors. Our approach ensures that exploitation is sustainable, avoids negative impacts and maintains long-term aquifer stability.

We design surface and underground drainage systems that control water inputs, improve soil stability and ensure safe operating conditions. We propose solutions adapted to the geological context, minimizing risks and optimizing costs during construction and operation.

We design and propose waterproofing systems in the infrastructure field through the application of mathematical models as well as in the safeguarding design of waste storage facilities.

We analyze the availability, quality and behavior of water resources to support strategic decision making. We develop management plans, water balances and environmental evaluations that allow rational use of water and guarantee the sustainability of projects.

We implement monitoring and analysis programmes that enable us to monitor changes in the quality of surface water and aquifers. This work ensures regulatory compliance and helps to detect significant changes that could compromise infrastructure or ecosystems.

We design strategies for the sustainable exploitation of the underground resource, assessing balances, recharge, catchment efficiency and potential impacts. Our approach seeks to guarantee the project's water security without compromising the integrity of the aquifer.

We define protection areas around catchments to minimize contamination risks and guarantee security of supply. We analyze hydrogeological conditions, vulnerability of the environment and possible sources of risk. The resulting perimeters ensure responsible management and in accordance with current legislation.

We develop preventive and corrective measures aimed at protecting underground resources against human activities, spills, unwanted infiltrations or intensive exploitation. Our approach combines hydrogeochemistry, modeling and environmental analysis to ensure aquifer integrity.

We identify and analyze elements that may compromise the quality of groundwater. We evaluate their degree of impact, migration routes and arrival times to the aquifer. This analysis allows us to design effective mitigation plans and long-term protection strategies.

We carry out studies for the design of impermeable barriers and containment systems intended to protect aquifers or control unwanted water flows. We include geotechnical and hydrogeological tests that allow us to define solutions adapted to the characteristics of each location.

We carry out aquifer quality studies through hydrogeochemical analysis based on models, specialised sampling programmes and environmental monitoring networks. This characterisation makes it possible to assess vulnerability to pollution, determine the chemical and isotopic status of groundwater bodies, and define the suitability of water resources for various uses, providing the technical basis needed to design protection plans, remediation projects and compliance with environmental regulations.
