Western Water & Land, Inc. provides an integrated approach for water resource evaluation, development, and protection studies. Our approach utilizes our expertise and technical skills in surface water and groundwater hydrology, modeling, demand calculation, water chemistry, contaminant sources, and contaminant fate and transport. Our services are individually tailored to meet each client’s specific project needs throughout the duration of the project.
Our expertise in water resource management has provided municipalities, state and local government, irrigation districts, and domestic water providers with the knowledge they need to make informed and practical management decisions regarding protection, planning, development, and allocation of water resources under their jurisdiction and control. Our services are commonly used to assess potential threats to water resources in response to proposed development actions within watersheds and proposed upstream water management actions, including transbasin and transmountain diversions. Such assessment typically involve identifying the potential threats, recommending measures to reduce the threats, establishing baseline water quality and quantity conditions prior to the proposed actions, and monitoring for changes in conditions during the actions. Water chemistry evaluations, data management, and database development are often components of these studies.
The water resource services that we provide our industrial clients are typically designed to ensure their operations do not threaten water resources. These studied commonly involve establishing baseline water quality conditions prior to initiation of operations that could potentially threaten water resources, monitoring during operations to demonstrate effective water resource protection. Such projects commonly require characterization of site surface water and groundwater resources, design and implementation of monitoring programs, analytical program development, water quality and flow monitoring, data interpretation, database development and data management, and reporting. Prior to initiation of site activities, we work with our client to establish procedures and protocols to be implemented if monitoring results suggest potential impacts to surface water or groundwater resources.
