About Us

About RAS, Inc.

Realtime Aquifer Services, or RAS, Inc., was established in 1993 with the goal of providing our clients with the technologies needed to help understand groundwater, wells and water systems. Our team is focused on understanding the groundwater source and how groundwater flow is affected by external factors. By understanding your water system, you can make sure that is it sustainable for agricultural, industrial, and public use.

Our unique capabilities include various groundwater flow evaluation methods, such as:

  • Hydrophysics
  • Packer Testing
  • Downhole EM Flowmeters
  • Aquifer Pump Testing
  • Colloidal Borescope

Our multi-scalar methodology is unique to the industry and allows small to large-scale evaluation of the subsurface to help determine if your well production and aquifer are sustainable. We apply our methods and technological approaches to help determine solutions for problems caused by extreme drought conditions.

If you’re looking for a team with the most experience along with the most advanced technologies who place a greater degree of emphasis on a multi-scalar, quality-assured, integrated analysis of subsurface data, you’ve come to the right place. Check out our additional resources, and reach out to us at RAS, Inc. today to get started with your project.

William Pedler

William Pedler is owner and Principal Hydrogeologist at RAS (Realtime Aquifer Services), a business established in 1993. Since his early days focused on research related to groundwater investigations at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Pedler has been involved in field and interpretive work on hundreds of projects and thousands of wells throughout the USA and Canada. He has dedicated his career to development and application of borehole methods for evaluation of well design, water supply and monitoring, wellbore integrity, flow and contaminant distribution, aquifer characterization and well rehabilitation. His areas of expertise include borehole geophysics and hydrophysics, groundwater project management, field deployment, equipment and tool innovation and well log interpretation. His clients include major consulting firms and large governmental entities such as the US Army Environmental Center, Dept of Energy and US EPA to small rural water districts and residential wells. Bill has a BS in Geological Engineering with a minor in Borehole Geophysics from the Colorado School of Mines and is the author or co-author of over 40 journal articles on aquifer characterization, monitoring technologies and case studies.

Services

At RAS, Inc., our services, technologies, and unique capabilities are used to help find sites that have contamination problems and to find solutions for sustainability.

About Us

We use our technology to figure out how to clean up contaminated areas, find ways to use less water, and help with other environmental projects. We work on these projects for both large and small clients.
