National Groundwater Surveyors® of C CW CA
EKS Results: Client #5651
Information Source: Clients Driller from Northern California Called today 09/11 /07 The driller reported that he drilled for a client that we did work for 11/15/06. Our SeismoElectric EKS technology indicated the aquifer at 460 feet in category "B" 2-6gpm) at site #7. Thedriller drilled at the National Groundwater Surveyors surveyed site #7 to 500 feet with a 30gpm yield. The client chose the first four drill locations with no luck. Survey conditions; granite outcropping "The driller wants us to send him cards and any information that we have. He said that the outcome was remarkable, and said he wants to meet us the n ext time we are in the area." -Jay

EKS Results: Eastern WA
The EKS data clearly showed three aquifers with bases of 210, 330, and 520 meters (690', 1085', and 1725'). We made an estimate of a category R (1200- 1800 gpm) at 1085'. This was based on calibrations on two other wells approximat ely 2 miles away. We also noted the presence of the third aquifer at 1725' where we stated they could get significant additional water, though we did not speci fy any amount due to a lack of a calibration well this deep to compare it to. The client got 500 gpm at the first aquifer with a base at 756', and An additional 500-700 gpm at the second aquifer with a base at 1028'. This resulted in 1200 gpm at 1028', the bottom end of our estimate. They got an additional 1200-1500 gpm at the third aquifer with a base at 1580'. They ha ve pumped 2500 gpm, but routinely use 2300 gpm. We weren't dead on, but pretty darn close.

This was a quarter of a million dollar project. They did a survey. The EKS saw an aquifer at over 1500'. They drilled and got the indicated water. The cli ents are very happy! We hope this will allow you to state with confidence the capability of the EKS system and National Groundwater Surveyors method that we all use.

EKS Results:
Survey Date: 3/15/07
SeismoElectric EKS technology showed Yield Estimate: 8-15gpm Final Yield: 30gpm
SeismoElectric EKS technology showed Depth Estimate: 70 feet Final Depth: 70 feet
Calibration: None
Completed By: Ervin Kraemer
Details: We advised the client that without calibration we would likely be less accurate on our estimates.

EKS Results:
Survey Date: 10/4/06
SeismoElectric EKS technology showed Yield Estimate: 0-3gpm Final Yield: 6gpm
SeismoElectric EKS technology showed Depth Estimate: 80 feet Final Depth: 35 feet
Calibration: None
Completed By: Ervin (Data interpretation) and Jacob Kraemer (Data collection)
Details: The client called us after she got an estimate from a local driller for a 500 foot well. The client knew the area was a very difficult area as far as water wells go and wanted some idea if she was going to get any water at all. The two closest neighbors had a total of 3 very low yield wells at less than 1.0gpm. The testing conditions were marginal but we were able to get relatively good data. Our final report indicated that any water encountered would likely occur in the upper 80 feet.

Site where drilling occurred: 1
Testing Conditions: Marginal to poor
SeismoElectric EKS technology showed - Estimated depth: 125ft --- Final depth reported by driller: 140ft

Brian and Chelsea Kulp completed this National Groundwater Surveyors® survey [Data collection]. Greg uses his property to board and train horses and had been experiencing reduction in the amount of water the existing well on his property was producing. In early 2006, we consulted with Greg and suggested that before he drills a new well, he should consider attempting to rehabili tate his existing well and put a storage tank in. Greg contacted us in May 2007 and advised that he was ready to drill a new well and wanted our help locating a good site for the well. While the testing conditions were difficult; after a lot of hard work, we were able to collect good data that allowed us to provide accurate information to Greg.

EKS Results:
Client - Ehraston Agreement #5709
Existing well 900 feet deep 1/4gpm
Test #2 we reported Category “B” at 660 feet
We got an “A” on each side of the “B”
Drilled 8/6/07 620 feet deep 6gpm.
This is a granite area and the tests were against a granite outcropping.

EKS Results:
Client: M. Reardon
Location: Thurston County , Washington
Yield: Corp Estimate (8-15gpm) – Final Yield (10gpm)
Depth: Corp Estimate (160 feet) – Final Depth (160 feet)
Number of Soundings: 4
Complications: Some cobbles encountered at about 1 foot.

Details: The client told National Groundwater Surveyors that when the drill ers reach about 120 feet they called her and expressed concerned because no wat er had yet been encountered and they were in material that usually indicates t he end of any potential groundwater for that area. The client said that she got the report out and after going over it, told the driller to keep drilling to 160 feet. By the time the driller reached 160 feet they estimated the yield of the well to be about 10gpm.

EKS Results: Canada
Client drilled 10 successful wells behind an EKS survey of approximately 48 sounding sites. Prior to having an EKS survey completed, the client hired a witcher who picked 6 sites for drilling. Of the locations the witcher chose the first well drilled was moderately successful and then the client proceeded to drill 5 dry (dusters as the client called them) behind the witcher. The client then had 48 EKS soundings completed on land he was developing. Data interpreted and approved by Ervin indicated 10 to 12 sites showing the potential for low yields (0-3gpm) but were the strongest sites located. To date the client has drilled 10 wells to the approximate depths indicated all but one of which produced at least 2gpm and one of which produced 4gpm. The client is very pleased and has already had additional soundings completed.

"At 186 feet we hit water at 10 gpm!!!! We were deterred, by the neighbors, to even try building a home on our property because of the lack of water in that area. Thanks to you and your findings, we not only found water, but have to have a restrictor placed on the water flow. We cannot say "THANK YOU" enough to you and your son- and your company in gener al. Our driller read your company's report from back to front several times and was truly amazed and intrigued by what you did. He almost declined to even do the job for us b/c he had such issues in that area, and only decided to work for us after reading your report. Thank you so much!!!! We are eternally grateful to you for helping us make our dream come true!"

Sincerely,
Kimberly & Paul H. & FAMILY!!!

You could be our next success story!

National Groundwater Surveyors® considers a "success" to be any service we provide that accurately reports the details of the aquifer whether the aquifer contains a usable amount of water or not. If the aquifer does not contain a usable amount of water then we gave our client the infor mation they needed to prevent drilling a costly dry well that is of no use to them . A dry well in many cases will cost thousands of dollars or more depending on the final depth and in what part of the country the well was drilled. If the aquifer contains a usable amount of water then we give the client accurate yield and depth estimations to help them plan the right place to drill a new well and help them estimate the approximate cost of the proposed well. The previous examples are a few of the more positive and exciting successes our clients have had after using our services.

The information herein has not been verified by an independent third party or a statistician and has been reported to National Groundwater Surveyors by ope rators, clients and through research of state water well reports. Most states requi re that well drilling contractors complete a report (or log) for a new well or decommission well, when this reporting procedure is not completed or when t he state restricts access to those reports our research on drilling results is limited.
