What is a Quick Qual?

Water & Natural Resources Services

  • Wildfire Services

    Since 1991, Geosyntec’s experts have rapidly assessed hazards in fire-affected areas to avoid secondary disasters like flooding and landslides.

  • Low Impact Development, Green Infrastructure, Sustainable Practices

    Low impact development (LID) aims to mimic natural hydrology by using small-scale, decentralized techniques that infiltrate, evaporate, and transpire rainwater.

  • Discharge Permitting and Receiving Water Studies

    Geosyntec provides comprehensive water-quality permitting and receiving water-assessment services. Our services include the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting negotiations and technical support for wastewater and industrial wastewater treatment plant discharges, groundwater discharge, combined sewer overflow systems, and stormwater management.

  • Natural Resource Monitoring

    Geosyntec uses biological assessment and monitoring to create an accurate picture of the affected environment. Our services reliably evaluate the health of streams, rivers, lakes, and ocean environments.

  • Natural Resource Damage Assessments

    The Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) process promulgated under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and the Oil Pollution Act (OPA) calculates the monetary cost of restoring injuries to natural resources that result from releases of hazardous substances.

  • Reservoir & Lake Thermal Studies and Modeling

    Recent updates to Sections 316(a) and 316(b) of the Clean Water Act regulate the use and operation of cooling water intake structures and revised national effluent limitation guidelines, significantly impacting many factory and power plant operators.

  • Spring Water Source Studies

    Geosyntec provides a wide range of specialized services in the areas of water resources, water supply development, and water conservation throughout the world.

  • Watershed & Water Quality Studies and Modeling

    To help clients achieve stringent water quality goals, Geosyntec provides rigorous assessment and modeling services to assess the sources and factors that affect the delivery of critical pollutants across watersheds.

  • Integrated Water Resource Management Planning

    Effective management of developed and undeveloped watersheds and stormwater runoff by public and private entities is a complex task from the scientific, regulatory, and policy perspectives.

  • Urban Stormwater Management, Planning, & Design

    Geosyntec's engineers and scientists stand among the world's foremost experts in urban stormwater management. We are innovators who design best management practices to mitigate impacts to surface water quality, enhance water conservation strategies, and contribute to municipal water supplies.
