About Cody Draper

If you need to develop, manage, or recharge groundwater, you came to the right place. My job is to use workflows common in the oil and gas industry to map, manage, develop, and recharge groundwater. Give me and my team a spot on the map, and we can show you how much groundwater one could expect to produce, the impact of that production, and how we would go about developing it. For my clients, I have: Prospected new groundwater resources using new and old seismic and other geophysical surveys Mapped aquifer architecture in the subsurface using geophysical well logs Put the x on the spot of where to drill Guided clients through various regulatory environment Analyzed aquifer test data to determine whether wells are performing as expected
