Client Service
Jared offers water-resource characterization and water-right assistance to municipalities, mine operators, irrigators, tribes, and commercial and industrial clients. Many of his projects address water-rights strategy and permitting in Montana, Nevada, and Washington. He also manages and develops groundwater supplies for public and private clients, offering support with well design and construction, hydraulic testing and analysis, and field programs. Representative projects include technical support for the municipal waterright portfolio of the Town of Stevensville, Montana, and water-right permitting for Ioneer’s Rhyolite Ridge Lithium Boron Project in Nevada.
To advance the state of the practice, Jared collaborates with Montana state agencies and water users to develop managed aquifer recharge and water-banking projects, bringing lessons learned from successful programs in the region and policy development expertise from other western states.
