Water Supply and Wastewater

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.

At Geosyntec, we view these systems as a cycle comprising supply, treatment, reuse, stormwater, and surface water flows, and we use this perspective to help clients build sustainable, resilient, and inclusive water futures for their communities.

On behalf of clients, we navigate complex and evolving federal and state regulations, from treatment standards and reporting to emerging contaminants. Our multidisciplinary team takes a “one water” approach to help clients diversify supplies, strengthen resilience, and manage assets to build right-sized support for sustainable resource management.

Design effective treatment solutions for all water.

We see water as one source and can help our clients develop treatment strategies to diversify their supplies. Through treatability studies and collaboration with many levels of municipal water system staff, we effectively design treatment system in both traditional and cutting-edge technologies, addressing wide-ranging issues including nutrient removal, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), reuse, groundwater treatment, and ocean desalination.

Stay ahead of evolving water and wastewater regulations.

Our commitment to tracking evolving water regulations helps our clients foresee additional costs and operations changes with their systems. Our team excels at piloting and implementing innovative technologies. We work with agencies to adapt to regulatory changes, and we create compliance strategies that reduce long-term risk.

Bring equity into water management decisions.

Geosyntec leads in our work helping agencies incorporate equity considerations into water management planning and decision-making. As more focus is placed on equitable water management across jurisdictions, we help clients confirm clean, affordable, reliable, and accessible water supplies for customers. To do this, we have developed practical metrics and indicators to help water agencies identify where to focus resources. In the face of climate change, Geosyntec is also leading work to confirm resilient water supplies that can bounce back from droughts, floods, sea-level rise, and wildfires.
