Groundwater Monitoring Network for the Emirate of Ajman

Client

Ajman Municipality

Project Description

This project provided consultancy services to assess the groundwater resources of the Ajman Emirate through establishment of a network of groundwater monitoring wells. Establishing a groundwater-monitoring network was deemed important to measure changes in groundwater quality and levels over time. This enabled the monitoring of aquifer flow characteristics and groundwater salinity. Fifteen new monitoring wells were drilled at selected locations in Ajman City with total depths between 20 and 100 m. The data is wireless transmitted to the headquarter office of Ajman Municipality to support the operation and decision making in relation to groundwater management.
