Groundwater Modeling Service

Starting with a site conceptual model of flow we then routinely apply analytical or numerical models to evaluate questions of both water flow and solute transport. Our philosophy is that understanding the hydraulic and contaminant systems conceptually, and then posing careful questions a model can answer, is more fruitful than jumping into detailed models whose file processing often takes on a life of its own.

Modeling is beneficial because it forces one to quantify their understanding of a system and to identify data gaps. Modeling is also an efficient way to answer "what if" questions about a system and therefore gain valuable insight into it. For these reasons we recommend starting to model early in a project and to use it iteratively as a tool to focus data gathering efforts.
