Surface Water Hydrology

Surface water systems provide the replenishable water in the hydrologic cycle that is renewable, but only available in finite quantities. It is, therefore, important to protect and manage available renewable water.

– Surface Water Supply Planning and Management
– Rainfall/Runoff Relationships
– Surface Flow Gaging
– Sediment Transport
– Floodplain Delineations

Groundwater and Surface Water Modeling

Modeling tools, both analytical and numerical, can assist with addressing complex surface and groundwater issues, as well as provide visual representations of hard-to-understand flow and water quality issues.

– Groundwater Flow / Dewatering
– Fate and Transport
– Surface Water Reservoir Operational Models

Ground Water Hydrology

Ground water flow occurs under virtually all lands, whether in shallow alluvial aquifers associated with rivers, or bedrock aquifers that transport ground water tens to hundreds of feet below ground surface.

– Hydrogeologic Characterizations
– Ground Water Supply Planning & Development
– Ground Water Monitoring
– Production Well Design, Installation, and Testing
– Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR)

Water Rights

In Colorado, water rights are an integral part of any land use development, including farming, residential, commercial, industrial and mining uses. All water development and/or impacts to water quantity and quality are affected by the Doctrine of Prior Appropriation, the principle of “first in time, first in right.”

– Groundwater Rights
– Direct Flow & Surface Storage Water Rights
– Augmentation Plans / Exchanges
– Changes of Use
– Injury Assessments

Expert Testimony

In both water rights and water contamination issues, there is sometimes the need for expert testimony as part of the litigation. LWS has lengthy experience and expertise to provide litigation support to attorneys in cases in Water Courts and District Courts.
