Water protection and the sustainable use of the water resource is a demand of our time, and ÍSOR holds specialist expertise in this field. ÍSOR has provided advice on groundwater and groundwater research for water utilities, aquaculture stations and companies that produce bottled water.
ÍSOR maps hydrology, groundwater systems and groundwater flow, defining how surface water, groundwater and geological formations interact. Hydrological maps are used in spatial planning, environmental assessment, programme preparation and a variety of construction work. ÍSOR also assesses the capacity of boreholes and water sources and carries out chemical analysis of drinking water and other fresh water. ÍSOR further has experience of other kinds of water supply, among them industrial water, firefighting water, warm water and geothermal seawater.
