Western Water & Land offers the skills and technical expertise to address water chemistry and water quality concerns/issues affecting our clients’ operations or potentially impacting water resources under their jurisdiction and control. Understanding the complexities of water chemistry and water chemical interactions with the environment is essential for developing successful water management programs, evaluating water-quality data, assessing baseline conditions, and identifying/evaluating remediation alternatives for impacted waters.
Western Water & Land has extensive experience in virtually all aspects of water chemistry evaluations and studies. Key components of such studies include sampling and analytical program development, sample collection, quality assurance/quality control, sample handling, review and validation of sample results, data management, data evaluation and interpretation, and reporting. Proper implementation of each component of the study is critical to ensure the analytical data are accurate and representative of existing conditions and resulting interpretations and conclusions are defensible. Our water chemistry experience and knowledge are used to optimize analytical programs designed to address our clients’ specific issues and concerns.
Where appropriate, regulatory requirements and risk-based benchmarks are considered during program development. Our professionals employ strict protocols and procedures during sample collection to ensure samples are representative of the sampled media and accurately characterize site conditions.
Our professionals are particularly skilled in the review, evaluation, and interpretation of water chemistry data. Sampling data provided by the laboratory are initially reviewed for completeness, precision, accuracy, and representativeness. Any issues identified during the review process are resolved with the laboratory before the data are uploaded to a project database. All of our water quality data are stored in databases designed specifically for environmental data management, ensuring high-quality data reporting and statistical analysis. The resulting data interpretations are designed to address our clients’ specific needs and may include tools such as geochemical modeling, statistical summaries, mixing calculations, mass flux determination, and risk assessment.
