The AEM mapping technology provided by a company called AGT will enable the Groundwater Management District to map the basin down to a depth of 2,000 feet, including bedrock aquifers. The goal is to map the areas where water can … Continue reading AEM Mapping Helicopters with Huge Magnets is Reshaping Water Management in Colorado and California
