Hydrogeological Studies (SENARA)

Hydrogeological studies prepared in accordance with the SENARA Terms of Reference determine the availability, quality, and vulnerability of groundwater resources. They are essential requirements for procedures such as water concessions, sewer exemption, and technical assessments.

Why are hydrogeological studies required by SENARA?

SENARA requires hydrogeological studies for projects that involve the abstraction, use, or discharge of groundwater. These studies assess aquifer behavior, recharge capacity, and potential impacts from human activities.

  • Authorization for groundwater use (water concession).
  • Sewer system exemption for sanitary discharges.
  • Evaluation of hydrogeological vulnerability and risk.
  • Determination of aquifer recharge and protection zones.

How does Geo Costa Rica support this process?

At Geo Costa Rica, we prepare comprehensive hydrogeological studies that comply with SENARA’s official technical formats and procedures. Our support covers every stage — from field inspection to the submission and management of the technical report.

1. Data collection

Measurement of static and dynamic water levels, flow rates, and pumping tests.

2. Hydrogeological analysis

Interpretation of lithological profiles, groundwater flow modeling, and aquifer vulnerability assessment.

3. Submission to SENARA

Preparation, submission, and follow-up of the technical report until official approval is granted.

Do you need to submit a hydrogeological study to SENARA?

At Geo Costa Rica, we prepare technical reports approved by SENARA, fully compliant with all regulatory requirements and backed by certified professionals. Streamline your procedures and obtain reliable, high-quality results.
