Groundwater guides

Understand groundwater exploration with satellites and GIS: the method, the data, the limits and good practice before drilling.

Method and limits

Each analysis combines satellite-derived indicators (terrain, vegetation, drainage, lineaments), geological and climate datasets, and a multi-criteria GIS analysis (AHP) that estimates groundwater potential. It is neither a field measurement nor a geophysical survey. See the detailed method

  • The 30 m grid is the spatial resolution of the analysis, not a guaranteed accuracy for a drilling spot.
  • BhdBlue does not estimate the depth of the water table, its yield or volume, water salinity, or a probability of drilling success.
  • The flow direction shown is that of surface water, derived from the terrain, not of the aquifer.
  • Before a major borehole, have the spot confirmed by a hydrogeologist or an on-site geophysical survey.
