AES provides hydrogeologic expertise to clients who wish to develop new sources of groundwater for land development projects and new subdivisions, irrigation waters, industrial process water supply, and bottled drinking water. Our team of experienced professionals carefully assesses the present and future water needs of each client, and then designs a project approach that is best suited for their unique needs and goals. Our services range from initial site evaluation and water "prospecting" to water quality testing, aquifer testing, source permitting, installation, and water supply monitoring and compliance assistance. We also are experienced with coordinating water supply development with the involved regulatory agencies, including the PADEP, local municipalities, and interstate authorities such as the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) and the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC). Our familiarity and experience in dealing with these agencies reduces the time involved with project reviews and groundwater withdrawal permitting.

AES' staff of professional geologists and scientists is experienced with successfully addressing a variety of water supply quantity and quality issues, including:

• public (community) water supplies,
• commercial transient water supplies,
• on-lot water (private) supplies,
• irrigation water supplies,
• water supply drought management,
• wellhead protection,
• wellfield interaction, well rehabilitation, and
• groundwater availability studies.

AES has the expertise to provide a "soup to nuts" service for your water supply needs, or we can easily work as a valued project team member. From exploration, testing, and permitting to installation and expert testimony, AES will represent your interests and work toward an attainable solution for you and your project.

In addition to our extensive experience with groundwater resource evaluation, protection, and planning, AES staff members are also adept at consulting for bottled spring water and processed drinking water.

Our clients include respected area (Pennsylvania) and internationally renowned bottled water companies. Although we do business with several bottled water companies, confidentiality and discretion ensure that all of our clients are professionally represented.
