Good drinking water can be obtained from fracture zones in hard rock. But drilling without a site investigation often leads to deeper and less productive wells. Effective water development programs must include a carefully conducted water prospecting survey.

IDEA4WATER Inc. is the world leader in water locating. We are always working on developing the best technologies for our customers. The EMS (Electromagnetic Surveying) technology we use is the most efficient technology available in the world. This gives us a chance to look at every inch of your property. Our competition will only look at certain areas of your property leaving much of your property uninvestigated.

Another technology we use is VLF (Very Low Frequency). The VLF instrument we use was specifically developed to find water. This technology has been around for over 20 years and is the choice for locating water around the world.

The combination of these two technologies makes us much more efficient than our competition and is why we are the world leaders in Water Locating (Water Prospecting). The results obtained from using these state-of-the-art technologies are convincingly consistent. We know of none of our competition that is willing to offer a guarantee on properties anywhere in the U.S..

What is "EMS"? Simple. This process uses electrical and magnetic fields to identify near-surface structures through a variation in responses. By mapping these fields we can concentrate on specific structures to narrow our search area.

What is VLF? These are (very low frequency) radio waves our government uses to communicate with submarines. When these waves meet with a saturated body (i.e. water), there is a secondary signal created. This secondary signal is the signal we look for when locating water.

Why use both methods? By combining these two technologies we can increase our accuracy (many times finding cross flows) while still keeping our price reasonable.
