Water

Geosyntec delivers water services to industrial clients that address every aspect of water integrated management. From sourcing and treatment to discharge permitting and compliance, we offer innovative solutions tailored to meet complex water challenges.

The energy transition is realigning energy’s interdependence with water. Water has always been essential to energy production, with the energy sector accounting for a tenth of global freshwater withdrawals.

Food and beverage production facilities rely heavily on high-quality water for daily operation; therefore, source water protection is key to maintaining uninterrupted operation, long-term sustainability, and production efficiency while protecting corporate branding and public image.

A significant aspect of Geosyntec's water and natural resources practice is our stormwater management expertise. In fact, the firm is known for its innovative work in urban stormwater and surface water quality management, including green infrastructure design for CSO controls, Low Impact Development, Best Management Practice (BMP) design, hydromodification management, and erosion and sediment control.

As owners and operators of data centers seek to design and maintain sustainable, reliable, and resilient facilities, water is key. Geosyntec experts offer paths to water stewardship, addressing scarcity, balancing development and conservation, and supporting facility expansion.

Water and wastewater agencies face growing challenges from climate impacts, aging infrastructure, and the need for sustainable and resilient management of resources. To meet increasing demand, they must proactively manage water and wastewater infrastructure, assets, and data.

Clients must implement effective siting, design, and construction management of stormwater best management practices (BMPs), and they must oversee long-term operation of these important assets.

To comply with the Clean Water Act and other legislation, clients need to collect right data, understand relevant regulations and permitting requirements, and build informed regulatory strategies.

State and local governments, utilities, landowners, businesses, and communities must navigate National Pollutant Detection and Elimination System (NPDES) Permit compliance through watershed-scale planning.

Businesses, agriculture clients, and municipalities need to understand and manage their rights to use water. This is especially true in the Western United States, where clients must balance future needs with changing laws and court decisions.

To meet current agricultural, drinking-water, and industrial needs, maintain water resilience, and sustain reliable groundwater for years to come, it is essential to manage groundwater resources.

Businesses and municipalities face pressure from clients, investors, regulatory agencies, and stakeholders to balance their impacts on the environment. In response, they need integrated restoration strategies that provide resilient landscapes, enhance ecological function, and that are backed by technical and regulatory excellence.

Owners of new and existing dams, dikes, levees, and other hydraulic containment structures depend on consultants with expertise in geotechnical engineering, hydrology and hydraulics, and risk management.

PFAS are challenging contaminants because most PFAS constituents cannot be detected using conventional analytical techniques.

Marine and waterfront improvement projects are complex ventures that require sustainable surface, subsurface, and subaquatic environmental and engineering solutions. To be successful, they must address the changing climate and dynamic regulatory environments.

Clients turn to Geosyntec to better understand the evolving disclosures, research, and regulations surrounding microplastics.

Communities, farmers, and industries must plan for resilient and reliable water structures, particularly in drought-prone regions. As communities look to protect resources, support growth, and build resilience, they seek out Geosyntec to address complex water challenges and secure sustainable supplies.
