Groundwater Services

Surface and groundwater management is a fundamental element of water resources management. Surface water management involves the control, conveyance, and treatment of small streams and tributaries, large rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and oceans, while groundwater management includes the management of aquifers, wells, and underground lakes and rivers.

CH2M HILL's experienced staff can help you manage these resources to prevent erosion, bolster water supply, and provide increased accessibility for beneficial community use. Our full spectrum of surface and groundwater management technologies and services include:

• Aquifer storage recovery (ASR)
• Conjunctive use of surface water, groundwater, and recycled water
• Deep well injection (DWI)
• EIR/EIS Support
• Groundwater modeling
• Groundwater protection
• Groundwater resource development
• Groundwater tracers
• In-situ treatment
• Mechanical integrity testing
• Recycled water recharge (RWR)
• Water rights support
• Watershed planning
• Public supply
• Well operation and maintenance

Wetlands & Habitat Management

Wetlands are delicate, yet powerful components of our natural environment. On their surface, they provide critical wildlife habitat and enhance the quality of the human environment. Beneath the surface, they provide a viable option in integrated water resource management solutions by naturally cleaning surface waters and helping control flooding.

Our wetland scientists and engineers provide comprehensive services related to wetland assessment, permitting, mitigation, design, and construction. We draw from years of experience in the study and use of wetlands to assist you in water resources management, offering full-service capabilities from initial permitting through final design, construction management, construction, and monitoring. Our effectiveness stems from a thorough familiarity with local, regional, and national wetland regulations and legislation. We know how to implement plans that meet all stakeholder interests.
