Luhdorff & Scalmanini, Consulting Engineers (LSCE) is a consulting and engineering services organization that deals exclusively with the investigation, development, use, protection and management of groundwater resources. LSCE was founded by its two original principals in 1980 to fill a recognized need for technical and management expertise in a broad range of projects and problems associated with groundwater resources development. During its years of growth, LSCE has assembled a staff of professionals who specialize in groundwater resource development and management; those professionals include engineers, geologists, hydrologists and hydrogeologists. As a result of a vast experience in groundwater, combined with LSCE's extensive knowledge of the design and installation of wells and pumping equipment, the staff are uniquely qualified for projects concerning the effective and efficient development of groundwater, its protection, and its development and use for municipal, agricultural and industrial purposes.

The firm's primary focus has been to address the extent and availability of groundwater resources and the development of groundwater supply in response to the requests of numerous public agencies and private entities. In recent years, the traditional assessments and development of groundwater have increased in scope as a result of an increasing demand for the investigation of groundwater quality and contamination problems and the determination of potential solutions to them. At the same time, there has been an increasing challenge to modify or otherwise design groundwater supply systems (i.e., wells and well fields) to control groundwater quality and/or the movement of contaminants and to avoid the inflow of contaminants to the water supply system.

LSCE's clients include a large range of municipalities, water districts, other public agencies, and corporate and private interests throughout California and other western states. These services have included the design and inspection of hundreds of wells, pump station designs for water supply, and analysis of well field alternatives for optimal development and treatment of groundwater to meet primary and secondary drinking water standards.
