🧼 Keep your home clean and healthy with the help of hydrogeologists. They ensure that the water used for cleaning is free from pollutants, safeguarding your family's well-being during household chores. #CleanLiving #WaterSafety #WaterConsulting #WaterSafety #Hydrogeology #WaterEducation #WaterSupply #CleanWater #DrinkingWater #WaterSystems #WaterInnovation #Water #Expertise #Edgewater #EdgewaterStrategies

💧 Ever wondered how your drinking water stays safe? Hydrogeologists team up with developers to assess sites, design wells, monitor water quality, ensure regulatory compliance, and educate about water conservation. It's a powerful partnership for clean water! #WaterSafety #WaterConsulting #WaterSafety #Hydrogeology #WaterEducation #WaterSupply #CleanWater #DrinkingWater #WaterSystems #WaterInnovation #Water #Expertise #Edgewater #EdgewaterStrategies

🌍 Protecting our groundwater is crucial, and hydrogeologists are at the forefront of this mission. They develop strategies to prevent pollutants from reaching our drinking water sources, keeping our water safe and pure. #GroundwaterGuardians #WaterSafety #WaterConsulting #WaterSafety #Hydrogeology #WaterEducation #WaterSupply #CleanWater #DrinkingWater #WaterSystems #WaterInnovation #Water #Expertise #Edgewater #EdgewaterStrategies

As growers and water managers throughout the state practice groundwater recharge at higher rates, California WaterBlog offers a “functional flows” approach to guide recharge proponents. This perspective aims to balance the potential benefits — and risks — of Flood-MAR based on the flow levels and other environmental characteristics of water systems during the wet season.

C&R rely on positive relationships with landowners for successful scheduling and completion of environmental assessments in the field. When accessing private properties, we ensure that the area is left as we found it (e.g. closing gates) – and adhere to any other site-specific requirements. #CnRconsulting #environmentalMonitoring #fieldwork #regionalAustralia

💧 Hydrogeologists are the guardians of clean drinking water! They use their expertise to explore and assess underground aquifers, ensuring a safe and reliable water supply for our communities. #WaterHeroes #WaterSafety #WaterConsulting #WaterSafety #Hydrogeology #WaterEducation #WaterSupply #CleanWater #DrinkingWater #WaterSystems #WaterInnovation #Water #Expertise #Edgewater #EdgewaterStrategies

💧 40 to 60 percent of California’s water supply comes from groundwater. But in California and throughout the West, intensifying water challenges such as drought and unsustainable water pumping have endangered long-term water supplies, threatening to deplete aquifers and greatly impact water quality. The Groundwater Accounting Platform—developed between ESA, the Environmental Defense Fund the California Water Data Consortium, Olsson—enables water managers, landowners, and water users to track water availability and usage, in order to avoid these undesirable outcomes and help communities meet water conservation goals. A notable feature, notes Technology Services Lead John Henry Burns PE, is the utilization of open-source technology which provides water managers with the data and tools to monitor their water use and make informed, long-term decisions towards sustainability. The platform is now available throughout California to support groundwater management practices.

It's thanks to hydrogeologists who work tirelessly to monitor water quality and maintain a healthy environment for your bathing routine. #ShowerSafety #WaterSafety #WaterConsulting #WaterSafety #Hydrogeology #WaterEducation #WaterSupply #CleanWater #DrinkingWater #WaterSystems #WaterInnovation #Water #Expertise #Edgewater #EdgewaterStrategies

Conservation Halton has just released their Wetland Water Balance Assessment Guidelines. These guidelines should be used to determine whether there is a potential impact to the existing hydrological functions of the wetland as a result of site alteration/development by comparing pre and post development conditions. What I found set these guidelines apart was their inclusion of hydrographs from various wetland communities that they monitor within their watershed (included within Appendix A)! A screenshot of one of them shown below. We typically complete these evaluations for any site-specific study (e.g., subwatershed impact studies, environmental impact studies) where there is alteration proposed near a wetland community that will be retained on the landscape. It is important to understand whether the proposed development activity could impact the hydrology of the wetland, thus impacting the functionality of the feature. There are several mitigation measures that can be explored to maintain or replicate the hydrologic requirements of the existing wetland (e.g., Low Impact Development solutions, rooftop contributions).
