Developing a Borehole Water Supply: Get Ready for a Webinar

November 16, 2020

Have you been enjoying our borehole series? If so, don’t miss out on our concluding webinar!


On the 26th November, our specialists will be hosting a borehole packed 1-hour webinar, focusing on the critical points that need to be considered when developing a borehole water supply. The critical points our specialists will cover include:


• The benefits you gain from a feasibility study

• The regulatory process checklist 

• The good and bad practice of borehole construction

• How to successfully obtain a licence

• Why monitoring and maintenance is essential for long term, hassle free operations


To round off the webinar there will be a Q&A session, giving you the chance to ask your burning questions and get the answers you’ve been waiting for. Following this, you will be up to date and fully informed to confidently begin or continue on your borehole journey. If you haven’t already, take a look at our recent bulletins, otherwise fire up some questions and register your place!

We're always excited to see our team grow, and we are thrilled to welcome Hannah to the team. Hannah joined our Scotland office at the end of June to gain some hydrogeological experience alongside completing her university studies, and we look forward to welcoming her officially in September where she will begin her career as a Hydrogeologist. Prior to joining, Hannah completed a BSc in Environmental Sciences at University of Glasgow and is currently working towards completing an MSc in Hydrogeology at the University of Strathclyde. During her masters and undergraduate degree, Hannah has participated in various fieldwork activities where she developed an in-depth understanding of applied hydrology, soil analysis and mapping techniques.

Desertification and drought are two of the most pressing environmental challenges of the 21st century. Exacerbated by climate change, the devastating effects of both can be felt across the globe, with an estimated 40% of the world's population impacted by water scarcity events. As global temperatures continue to rise, and severe weather events increase, regions across the globe face the potential for increased frequency and severity of droughts, often progressing rapidly and unexpectedly. As of 29th May this year, a drought was officially declared in parts of the UK, having experienced the driest start to Spring in over 130 years. Whilst the recent rainfall at the start of June has helped to stabilise concerns, uncertainty for the months ahead still remain. How is the UK landscape affected by drought?
