Technical Expertise

We have extensive experience in calculating water budgets, 3-D numerical groundwater modeling, and assessment of water supplies. We have developed specialized computer code for the solution of coupled flow and transport equations. We have provided hydrogeologic support for dam safety and slope stability analyses, and have experience in groundwater field investigations, and surface and groundwater quality modeling.

Our team is experienced in using finite element and finite difference codes for the hydrogeologic assessment of sites ranging from local to basin scale. We are skilled in simulating density dependent flow and saturated/unsaturated conditions. We are knowledgeable in the application of hydrogeologic principles for the evaluation of long- and short-term aquifer yield and well performance.
