Groundwater Recharge Assessment, Planning, and Design
Capitalizing on wet years, groundwater recharge provides large water capacity storage for dry years, enabling increased water supply reliability at lower capital costs. Our team of engineers, hydrogeologists, and geotechnical and water quality engineers have assisted many agencies with assessment, planning, funding, permitting, and design of groundwater recharge facilities.
Enhancing Water Supply Reliability through Recharge
Our engineers and hydrogeologists provide planning, analysis, and design experience in hydrogeology, groundwater recharge facilities, linear infrastructure, pump station and groundwater wells. Drought conditions require water agencies to maximize limited resources. Conjunctive use, or the coordination between surface and groundwater resources, can be an effective means to improve overall water supply reliability.
We help water agencies utilize non-local or imported sources in order to quantify recharge volumes and then withdraw amounts specific to those deposits when the need arises. Conjunctive use allows you to maximize natural sources of recharge, banking surface water runoff when abundant during wet years for use during dry years.
