In the context of water pollution, a plume refers to a distinct, elongated area of contaminated water that spreads from a specific source of pollution. Locating, monitoring and modeling plumes can help in assessing the extent of contamination and formulating remediation strategies.
For the most accurate subsurface water pollution plume charts, Willowstick technology is at your service. Our system is the most adept in the world at accurately mapping complicated flow paths of subsurface pollutants. This ensures a more complete remediation that may have otherwise been impossible to reach.
In the past, to acquire this level of vision would have required aging technology that was incredibly expensive, such as dry drilling. Not anymore...
The Willowstick method, allows us to understand historically difficult to follow plume paths, enabling us to map and model with precise accuracy. This can lead to reducing and even eliminating the spread of pollutants and other contaminants.

Willowstick utilizes technology that has proven effective in an array of fields including: geology, bio-magnetics, military, civil remediation and other scientific fields for the past 30 years.
Being the best in the world comes with a burden of pressure. For the past 12 years we have been continuously perfecting our technology to a industry leading 95% (MSR) success rate.
Willowstick investigations take days. Our competitors take weeks or even months. Using cutting edge data collection and model creation we form a seamless process from our field crews to our data analysts. We solve problems quickly, but more importantly, correctly.
Nearly all of our investigations can be performed using existing wells or piezometers (an instrument for measuring the pressure of a liquid or gas). This mitigates any need for expensive and time consuming drilling.
Having near real-time insight into the health of dams, reservoirs, canals (or other water features) allow us to tailor and modify our investigations as needed. Giving owners and operators to quickly make decisions based on our state of the art data collection rather than walking blindly towards possible solutions.
Without proper tracking we've found that contaminants, such as PFOS, PFOA and 1,4-dioxane our difficult to near impossible to remediate effectively. These pollutants are highly soluble and can readily travel many thousands of feet through complicated underground flow paths.
In the broad and diverse world of environmental remediation the Willowstick Technology is a vital tool to place our clients in the most advantageous position to greatly mitigate risk and better implement precise remediation strategies.
Another benefit of a Willowstick investigation is to observe and evaluate changes over time using our Willowstick Compare™ capability.
In much the same way that a dentist compares current x-rays with earlier ones, we create the possibility of our clients comparing the results of past Willowstick investigations with current results. This gives them the capability to gauge the effectiveness of remedial work, categorize the level of current concerns and determine the level of risk facing the flow of contaminants.
Performing these investigations at regular intervals allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the environmental impact of polluted water than has previously been possible
Dams that are build on karst, fractured rock or otherwise complex geology have historically made it more difficult to map subsurface water pathways. For Willowstick these structures represent ideal conditions since these types of water pathways are highly conductive. Additionally the rock will act as an insulator thus providing excellent contrast for our electric current.
For 12 years and 130 different clients, our Willowstick investigations create clients that are eager for more. Over 75% of our business comes from repeat customers, because they know that our accuracy in modeling and predictions will always give them reliable results.
