XXI^st Century Hydrogeology with the Right Focus

This site is devoted to:

• a new branch of hydrogeology, called angiogeology that detects and models in 3 D underground water flows,
• a detection technique, called quantum geophysics that makes it possible to produce 3D maps of underground water flows. This technique, which competes with the traditional geophysical survey techniques, is at the basis of the theoretical developments carried out in angiogeology,
• various hydrogeological survey and research services, based on angiogeology, that ANGIOO provides, of which:

		geothermal surveys, in the field of high enthalpy geothermy that aim at transforming, in a sustainable manner, the energy contained in geothermal reservoirs, into electricity.
		hydrothermal surveys, in the field of the hydrotherapy, targeting the exploitation, by spas and balneotherapy centers, of natural hydrothermal reservoirs (which are technically geothermal reservoirs containing water with proven therapeutic virtues),
		mineral water surveys, for the purpose of collecting natural mineral water which, in the absence of surface contamination (this is a required but not sufficient condition), would allow to obtain the coveted "mineral water" label,
		ad hoc hydrogeological surveys intended to meet specific needs related to underground water (like oil recovery through retro-injection in the underlying aquifer or the determination of collecting spots for taking samples in the case of the contamination of an aquifer).

For people in a hurry, we have synthesized in a presentation the quintessence of this site.

To understand angiogeology, it is useful to know a few key hydrogeological facts.

To appreciate the contribution of ANGIOO to hydrogeological survey, we recommend going through the benefits that you might expect in working with us. This explains why angiogeology "finds what is useful to search for and does not search for what can be detected" (as it is the case with other detection techniques).

We also recommend that you understand the paradigm shift brought by angiogeology in the field of hydrogeology.

In addition to these introductory pages, this site explains why angiogeology is revolutionizing hydrogeology in the discovery of various types of aquifer (i.e. depending on the need that needs that are expected to be fulfilled).
