HYMSIGER is a specialized consultancy in hydrological and hydrogeological modeling, built on a track record of technically rigorous studies across some of the most complex, data-scarce, and environmentally sensitive basins in the world.
We combine field-validated data with state-of-the-art numerical simulation to build models that are scientifically sound and operationally useful. Every engagement includes a fully functional, documented, and calibrated model — not just a report. Our clients receive a long-term technical tool they can use for planning, permitting, and adaptive management.
Our work spans the full modeling chain: watershed-scale surface water balance and streamflow analysis, three-dimensional groundwater flow and solute transport modeling, groundwater reserve estimation, and independent technical audits of models developed by third parties. We work with mining companies, government water authorities, and regulatory bodies that require studies defensible under expert scrutiny — including due diligence, environmental impact assessments, and contested permit processes.
We have developed and audited models for major lithium mining operations in high-altitude Andean environments, delivered capacity-building programs commissioned by the World Bank, and contributed expert technical review in regulatory proceedings. Where others deliver conclusions, we deliver the evidence behind them.
Who we are
HYMSIGER's team brings together specialists with doctoral degrees in civil, environmental, and agrarian engineering from leading European and Latin American universities — combining deep theoretical foundations with extensive hands-on fieldwork in challenging environments.
Our models have informed government-commissioned basin studies, World Bank programs, and private-sector assignments for mining companies requiring technically defensible water assessments. We have contributed to hydrogeological studies of major watershed systems including the Río de Los Patos (Catamarca), the Salar de Tolillar (Salta), the Chorros de Cirí basin (Panamá Oeste), and the Río Mendoza (Mendoza), among others.
We are committed to scientific rigor, transparent methodology, and one principle that guides every project: the work we deliver should remain useful — and auditable — long after project completion.
