Groundwater Services
Population growth and shifting climate patterns are placing an emphasis in California on groundwater development. For new developments, providing a defensible estimate of sustainable groundwater has become essential. Our engineers and hydrogeologists assist cities, water agencies and private landowners to develop groundwater supplies by conducting groundwater resource evaluations and impact and mitigation analysis; and designing water wells and recharge basins.
Groundwater supply
- Water budget and storage analyses
- Groundwater elevation and well impact studies
- Drinking water source assessments
- Wastewater and nitrate loading studies
- Groundwater modeling
- Groundwater treatment technologies
- Groundwater recharge/percolation basins
Municipal water well
- Well site evaluation/selection
- Preparation of well specifications and contract documents
- Well design and rehabilitation
- CEQA/NEPA document preparation
- Geological well-logging interpretation
- Pump test design and execution
- Well yield evaluation
- Wellhead equipping and design
- Water quality testing
Hydrogeological/biological studies
We conduct specialized joint hydrogeological/biological studies to address a project’s environmental impacts to evaluate the relationship between water levels, soil moisture, and vegetation. These services are often involved with developing habitat conservation and mitigation plans.
- Vegetation surveys
- Surface water flow and quality evaluation
- Groundwater elevation and quality evaluation
- Soil moisture monitoring
- Evaluation of atmospheric data
- Groundwater modeling
