Watershed management is the process of guiding and organizing land and other resource use on a watershed to provide desired uses (such as residential development and agriculture) without adversely affecting water resources. Balance applies a field-based approach to characterizing watersheds in a manner that recognizes the site-specific nature of water distribution and movement in complex environments ranging from steeply sloping redwood forests to tidal mud flats to agriculture-dominated foothills. Balance's success in developing watershed management plans stems from our interdisciplinary staff of over 30 highly qualified professionals with backgrounds in geomorphology, hydrology, wetland science, geology, civil engineering, geochemistry, hydrogeology, sediment transport, and climatology.
