Colloidal Borescope accurately measures groundwater velocity and direction in real-time. Using proprietary technology, the Colloidal Borescope incorporates a down-well sensor set to depth-specific intervals and a live-view AquaLITE software that captures and records thousands of data points per minute yielding statistically assured preferential flow data.

- Observes flow at a pore scale for measuring velocities ranging from 0 to 30 mm/sec
- Generate flow and velocity models using existing wells – avoiding added costs associated with installing additional wells or piezometers
- Identify flow direction and velocity in real-time
- Capture statistical summary report that includes well number, date, vector analysis and more
