Water Resources
Above ground and below—water is everywhere
We help protect and restore sensitive water resources, develop new sources of water, and manage risk resulting from sedimentation and flooding. The advanced modeling tools we use analyze complex natural systems, allowing you to better understand the effects of developments. Our hydrogeologists, hydrologists, biologists (aquatic, terrestrial, wetland), geomorphologists, and engineers work together to find the right solution and a complete design for you.Dam removal reflects a wonderful synthesis of engineering and natural resource restoration. And the fish like it too—what could be better?

"description": "A detailed understanding aids the creation of better management approaches and smarter designs that manage impacts and reduce the need for mitigation. Groundwater and surface water systems are interconnected, and so are our teams. We work on projects from energy and resources to municipal infrastructure sectors, covering everything from source development to quality assessment and restoration. Services include hydrogeology and surface hydrology.",
