Water is the source of life and in a dry and semi-arid land like Iran, access to sustainable water resources is considered one of the biggest challenges for farmers, industrialists and land owners. With the reduction of precipitation and the drying up of surface resources, everyone's attention has been drawn to the underground aquifers. But does drilling a well reach water at any point? Definitely not. This is where the science of underground water exploration comes to our aid. Without conducting detailed and scientific studies, drilling a well is nothing but a waste of capital and time. In this article, we take a close look at new methods of underground water exploration and examine the key role of Deep Kavan Continental Plateau Company in providing specialized services in this field.
What is groundwater exploration and why is it important?
The set of scientific, technical and engineering activities aimed at identifying aquifers, determining the depth of the water table, checking water quality (saltiness and sweetness) and estimating the level of water table, is called underground water discoveries. In the past, many people relied on traditional or even superstitious methods to dig wells, which resulted in thousands of dry and abandoned wells across the country.
But today, exploration of underground water is done using geophysical science. The importance of this issue becomes clear when you know that the costs of drilling a well are very heavy. If you dig without doing underground water exploration and hit bedrock or reach salt water, you have practically thrown away hundreds of millions of Tomans. Kavan Continental Plateau Deep Company, understanding this sensitivity, uses the most advanced equipment in the world to minimize the drilling risk.
New methods in underground water discoveries
The science of geophysics has provided several methods to investigate the layers of the earth. Specialists in underground water discoveries get an image of the underground by sending electric, seismic or electromagnetic waves deep into the ground and analyzing their feedback. In the following, we mention the most important of these methods:
1. Geoelectric method (specific resistance)
The most widely used and accurate method in underground water discoveries is the geoelectric method. In this method, electric current is injected into the ground through electrodes and the created potential is measured. Since water, rock, clay and sand each have different electrical resistance, the device can detect water layers. Kavan Continental Plateau Deep Company has a special expertise in implementing this method and by accurately interpreting the data, it determines the best point for drilling.
2. Electromagnetic method
This method is used in underground water discoveries for great depths or areas where it is not possible to beat the electrode (such as hard rock areas). By measuring the natural or artificial magnetic fields of the earth, these devices detect anomalies that indicate the presence of water.
3. Seismography method
Although this method is mostly used in oil exploration, it is also used in some large underground water exploration projects to determine the thickness of alluvium and bedrock depth.

Steps to carry out an underground water exploration project
In order to know what happens in a scientific process, we review the working steps of Deep Cowan Continental Plateau Company in the field of underground water discoveries:
Preliminary investigations and field visits
Before any practical action, experts should visit the area. Examining the topography of the land, observing the surrounding wells, examining rock outcrops and vegetation provides valuable information to start exploring underground water.
Data harvesting network design
According to the size of the land and the purpose of the project, the engineers of Cavan Continental Plateau Deep Company determine the points for data collection. The distance between the electrodes and how they are arranged has a direct effect on the final accuracy of underground water discoveries.
Field operations and data collection
At this stage, the technical team sends the current and registers the resistance of the earth's layers by placing the devices in the place. Accuracy is very critical at this stage and the operators of Cavan Continental Plateau Deep Company do it with great obsession.
Data processing and interpretation
The obtained raw data are entered into specialized software and modeled. خروجی این نرم افزارها، مقاطع عرضی از زمین است که لایه های آبدار، گسل ها و حفرات را نشان می دهد. This is where expertise in groundwater exploration comes into play.
Placement of the well and presentation of the final report
Finally, the best point, which has the largest thickness of the aqueous layer and the best water quality, is nailed and a written report is delivered to the employer.
The difference between scientific water finding and traditional methods
Unfortunately, some people still rely on methods such as pomegranate sticks, pendulums or plumb lines. It must be said clearly that these methods have no scientific basis and have no place in serious projects of underground water discoveries.
The science of geophysics works based on the laws of physics (Ohm's law in electricity). The devices used in Jerf Cavan Continental Plateau Company show numbers and figures that express the physical reality under your feet. While the sensory and traditional methods are completely random and have a very high error. Investing in underground water discoveries in a scientific way is actually insuring your drilling costs.
Economic benefits of using groundwater exploration services
At first glance, you may think that the cost of geophysical studies is an additional cost. But let's calculate more precisely. The cost of drilling each meter of a well, laying pipes, buying pumps, cables, and electrical equipment is very expensive.
If you dig a well 200 meters deep without conducting underground water discoveries and you do not reach water, you have lost hundreds of millions of tomans. While the cost of underground water exploration studies is a very small fraction of the drilling cost.
Cavan Continental Plateau Deep Company prevents the drilling of dry wells by providing accurate services. Also, by determining the exact depth of the water level, it prevents excessive drilling (which is an additional cost). Therefore, conducting underground water discoveries is not only an expense, but also a smart investment to preserve financial resources.
Determining water quality in groundwater exploration
One of the main concerns of farmers is water salinity. Salt water is not only not suitable for agriculture, but also destroys the soil. One of the important capabilities of the geoelectric method in underground water discoveries is the ability to detect water quality.
Saline water is a very good conductor of electricity and has a very low specific resistance due to its high solute content. In contrast, fresh water shows higher resistance. By analyzing the recorded resistances, the specialists of Cavan Deep Company can predict whether the underground water table is salty or fresh. This capability is extremely important in underground water discoveries and can prevent agricultural lands from turning into salt marshes.
Identification of bedrock and geological layers
In groundwater exploration, finding water is not the only goal. Knowing the type of layers is very important for choosing the type of drilling machine (percussion or rotary). If the ground has hard rock layers, conventional machines will not be able to dig.
Geophysical studies conducted by the Cavan Deep Company provide a detailed profile of the Earth's stratification. Determining the depth of the bedrock helps the digger to know how deep he should go and when to stop the operation. This accuracy of action in underground water discoveries accelerates the project process and reduces the depreciation of drilling equipment.
The importance of resource conservation in groundwater exploration
Iran is located in the dry belt of the world. The level of underground water has dropped drastically in many plains. Groundwater exploration should be done with a sustainable development perspective. Indiscriminate harvesting of aquifers causes land subsidence.
Cavan Continental Plateau Deep Company always advises employers to draw water based on the actual potential of the aquifer. Conducting detailed groundwater exploration studies will help us to estimate the volume of the reservoir and avoid over-harvesting which will lead to the drying up of the well in the short term. Managing water resources using scientific data is the main mission of this company.
Challenges of groundwater exploration in alluvial and rocky terrains
The behavior of water in alluvial land (sand) is completely different from rocky land (limestone and karst). In alluvial lands, the water is in the space between the grains and usually the tables are wide. But in rocky lands, water collects in fractures and faults.
Finding the exact location of water-bearing fractures and faults in rocky terrain is one of the most difficult parts of groundwater exploration. Here, the experience and knowledge of the technical team is very decisive. The experts of Deep Kavan Continental Plateau Company, having mastered structural geology and tectonics, are able to identify the exact location of these faults and suggest the best spot for drilling in rocky ground. This level of expertise in groundwater exploration distinguishes this company from others.
Water detectors: reality or hype?
Many devices are sold in the market with the title "water detector" or "water image scanner". Many of these devices lack scientific basis. In groundwater exploration, there is no device that directly shows the image of water. All valid geophysical devices measure the physical parameters of the earth and it is the expert who must interpret the data.
Deep Cowan Continental Plateau Company uses standard geoelectric and IP (induced polarization) devices that are approved by all scientific authorities in the world for underground water discoveries. Do not be fooled by the advertisements of satellite devices and strange color scanners. The science of groundwater exploration relies on actual voltage and current data, not artificial graphics.
