INTRODUCTION
Groundwater
and surface water provide the most important natural resources for communities.
Sustainable urban and rural life throughout the world requires safe and
clean water supplies for drinking, recreation, industry, and agriculture.
Stressors like contamination sources and overdraft of groundwater basins,
have the potential to impact water supply. ART utilizes a multidisciplinary
approach in engineering and scientific expertise to provide hydrogeologic
assessments and develop local, basin, or watershed management techniques
for efficient water resources development. Our expertise encompasses the
following:
| Hydrogeologic studies and assessments to obtain
a comprehensive view of the local and regional hydrogeology and develop
a site conceptual model |
| Development of groundwater and surface water management
strategies to ensure long-term sustainable supply and quality. This
includes water supply and well field management, water rights supsport,
water transfers, and geochemical assessment |
| Well installation and aquifer testing |
| Modeling to predict groundwater flow and contaminant
transport, and interactions between surface water and groundwater
|
| Environmental studies for impact assessments associated
with existing and proposed mines, landfills, and various construction
projects |
| Design and installation of hydraulic control systems
and barriers |
| GIS applications to efficiently manipulate, analyze,
and present spatial information. |
| Litigation, mediation support, and cost allocation |
| Environmental permitting and regulatory agency
interaction. |
