Challenge: Evaluate the water supply potential in region of
Bahia, Brazil, characterized by limited rainfall and high evaporation
rates.
Solution: Assess aquifer potential and well salinization
mechanisms using Schlumberger advanced simulation and visualization
capabilities in close collaboration with Bahia’s Water Resources Public
Agency (CERB).
Results:
- Revealed significant additional water production capacity
- Projected future abstraction scenarios and their impact on
groundwater salinity in production wells
- Enabled government to plan water-dependent initiatives benefiting
more than 1 million people
