Wells and Groundwater

Securing access to reliable water is vital to agribusiness and rural life. Rainwater is often supplemented with groundwater or surface water.

LEI can procure your water take resource consents, manage the design, and detail the operation of your water take, irrigation or dewatering system.


Specific groundwater expertise provided includes:

  • Resource Consenting experience to assess project viability and deliver the consent required
  • Aquifer Testing to support any consent application or groundwater assessment required
  • Analysis Software to characterise your groundwater environment, including water levels, flow direction, contaminant pathways, effects on other wells, effects on surface water/streams
  • Equipment to measure groundwater levels for a period up to 6 months if required (can be required as part of conditions of consent) or if you want to know how groundwater is behaving.
