Our main specialty is conducting studies focused on surface resources. We meticulously evaluate the dynamics of water systems using available information and complementing it with remote sensing data. Through advanced modeling and analysis, we develop a conceptual model and water balance that allows our clients to make informed water resource management decisions. Surface and ground water codes like SWAT and HEC-HMS are implemented.
Below the surface, we specialize in conducting groundwater movement modeling scenarios. By using stratigraphic information from aquifers, surface water balances, piezometry, river flow gauging and chemical information, we elaborate a model of subsurface water flow behavior. These conceptual models provide information on aquifer behavior and recharge dynamics, acting as a foundation for further aquifer exploration, resource management, or modeling.
Typical codes includes MODFLOW, FEEFLOW, HYDRUS.
Predicting the behavior of groundwater systems requires a forward-looking approach. Our simulation and prediction studies are a tool for the evaluation of future scenarios of utilization or climate change. Using modeling techniques, we enable our clients to manage their groundwater resources while adequately managing uncertainties.
Our numerical models complemented with uncertainty assessment are used in water supply and conservation and have predictive value for climate change or future resource use scenarios.
In a world increasingly concerned about water quality and environmental conservation, our studies also include solute transport modeling. Using codes such as MT3DMS, MIKE SHE, HYDRUS, we can predict the possible spread of contaminants, the path and/or risk of changes in the use of aquifers. These tools can also be used to design strategies for remediation of contaminated areas or to make decisions regarding the evolution and spread of contaminants. Changes in the use of resources can alter hydrological flows and move natural sources of salts or minerals that constitute a risk for the conservation of water quality and environments. For this reason, our clients often request transport modeling to evaluate the impact of groundwater extraction projects.
