Balance Hydrologics' groundwater practice emphasizes development of groundwater supply, watershed management, and wetland dynamics. The company has built on a solid base of professionals in hydrogeology, hydrology, geomorphology and engineering with particular expertise in:
- Groundwater basin management and 'safe-yield' supply
- Groundwater recharge management, including aquifer storage and recovery
- Surface and groundwater hydrology, and their interaction
- Managing groundwater near sensitive habitat areas
- Aquifer simulation and monitoring
- Hydrogeologic support for water-well drilling, testing, and water system design
- Fracture flow and management of bedrock aquifers
- Conjunctive use of surface and groundwaters
- Protection of water quality, and its enhancement through recharge and watershed management
- Effects of treated effluent storage and application
- Migration of nitrates and other nutrients in shallow groundwater
- Wetland protection and restoration: seasonal, riparian, and tidal/coastal systems
- Development and management of brackish aquifers
- Design of de-watering arrays
- Technical support for preparing grant applications
