With particular interest and experience in the development and management of ground_water resources, Luhdorff & Scalmanini, Consulting Engineers offer specialized consulting services:

......Ground-Water Resource Evaluation

Assessment of the quantity and quality of ground_water resources is a necessary component of many projects.  Consideration is given to the broad range of factors affecting ground water, which include the geology, hydrology, water quality, natural and artificial recharge, legal considerations, and institutional constraints.  When assessing the development potential in an area, ground-water evaluations are conducted to develop a thorough understanding of the impacts on water resources.

......Water Resources Development and Management

Ground-water management programs are often required to guide the development, production, and use of ground-water resources, often in conjunction with surface water resources, and constrained by environmental and legal considerations.  In all cases, an effective water management program should include a monitoring program providing data that can be used to regularly update operational criteria in order to maintain optimal performance standards.  In many cases, ground-water models are used in the formulation of management programs.  Such models can improve understanding of the system to be managed and highlight the impacts associated with alternative management approaches. 

......Ground-Water Modeling

Ground-water models are used in both ground-water management and contamination studies.  The models are based on analytical, numerical, or statistical methods, depending on their purpose and the availability of data.  As part of the modeling process, emphasis is placed on the development of a sound conceptual model and the proper application of model assumptions.  When interpreting the results of simulations, it is also important to acknowledge the model's limitations.
