Proven field technical and field experience of Consultant with Master’s degree in geology, hydrology, engineering geology, physical, or earth science, or in any related field and having good experience of working in this sector.
Consultancies performed in the last 10 years especially with reference letters for each hydrogeological surveys consultancy

Prior to drilling, SC will make sure an appropriate preliminary study is carried out in order to identify the best possible location. This critical phase is called the borehole siting: without appropriate borehole siting through hydrogeological survey and groundwater prospecting, the likelihood to obtain a dry borehole is high. Save the Children will engage the best available consultancy to carry out a hydrogeological survey and groundwater prospecting through geophysical investigation in the selected locations where the new boreholes are to be constructed. The borehole siting will be done in the s first quarter of the project and a complete report will be produced. Based on the results of the hydro-geological survey report and the pump tests conducted after drilling, Save the Children’s WASH technical team will review what type of pump is most appropriate for the water point. A complete report shall be developed for each water point for internal and donor records. In order to ensure that the water provided meets standards allowed quality, Save the Children will conduct bacteriological water sample analysis on all newly constructed and rehabilitated water points. This is proposed to be done periodically; immediately after construction and at every 3 months throughout the span of the project to ensure that there is no fecal or chemical contamination posing danger to consumers. The report will be analyzed and any water point with traces of contamination will be analyzed and treated accordingly.

overall objectives OF THE HYDRO-GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

Conduct hydrogeological and geophysical investigation for the optimal sitting of a drinking water borehole in Qardho Bari
To conduct geophysical survey of underground water in the aforementioned IDP settlments in Qardho and identify the most suitable location for drilling of the new borehole in terms of getting sufficient amount of water with acceptable quality and affordable depths
Review of knowledge people have with regard to the hydro-geological conditions in the area,
Identify the positive and negative impacts of the proposed borehole and recommend appropriate mitigation measures considering potential impacts on natural and secondary environments and assessed potential on shortand long-term impacts.
Investigate Social and ecological effects of groundwater development including loss of agricultural and grazing land, population resettlement.
Examine effects on the existing water supply such as boreholes and shallow wells, including fluctuation of water levels and interference of the cone of depression in the boreholes.
Potential environmental and social impacts by planned and unplanned (spontaneous) immigration into the area.
Effects of existing and predicted land use on the functioning and longevity of the water supplies.
scope of THE WORK

The Consultant is expected to use both secondary and primary data in the exercise.Secondary data will involve desk study of available information/data on existing boreholes, drill logs, reports and maps while primary data will be obtained by carrying out field reconnaissance and measurements of existing boreholes and geophysical prospecting within the studied area using a combination of geophysical methods as below described.. : The outcome of the consultancy will be a detailed hydrogeological survey report giving details of the findings and recommendations.
