Introduction

Property "IntroText" (as page type) with input value "A hydroprobe is a relitively inexpensive and easily portable truck mounted drill rig that can reach up to 50 m depth. The drill rig is direct push technology and drives a 1 ½ inch hollow tube into the ground. This technology allows for a relatively quick and easy method for collecting ground water samples and temperature measurements from up to 50 m depth.'"`UNIQ--ref-00000000-QINU`"' This method is easy to permit and leaves very little environmental impact." contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process.

Use in Geothermal Exploration

Property "GeoUse" (as page type) with input value "The hydroprobe method is an intermediate step between a 2-M Probe Survey and drilling Thermal Gradient Holes. It is more expensive than a 2-m probe survey but reaches much greater depths and allows for ground water sampling. It is less expensive, time consuming, and has less environmental impact compared to drilling thermal gradient holes but does not reach as great of depths and has limitations because it cannot drill through bedrock. The main goals of a hydroprobe survey is to obtain temperature gradient measurements and groundwater samples for geochemical analysis.'"`UNIQ--ref-00000001-QINU`"'" contains invalid characters or is incomplete and therefore can cause unexpected results during a query or annotation process.
