Colloidal Borescope System
AquaVISION’s Colloidal Borescope System is capable of determining the spatial distribution of the local groundwater velocity, both in magnitude and direction. The observational capabilities provide the potential for an enhanced understanding of porous flow at the most basic level.
AquaVISION’s Colloidal Borescope System provides flow data for stochastically based groundwater flow and transport models that more accurately describe the movement of contaminants in the subsurface.
AquaVISION’s Colloidal Borescope System can observe flow at the pore scale, measuring velocities ranging from 0 to 25 mm/sec — greatly exceeding even the fastest groundwater velocities in monitoring wells.
Groundwater flow direction and velocity are pin-pointed so that you can accurately determine the exact location and impact of French drains, extraction wells, and other groundwater treatment technologies. The colloidal movement is tracked as it passes underneath specially designed cameras and lenses. This information is then transferred to the surface, where it can be statistically analyzed and graphed.
