Water Resource

The reliability of a water supply, whether it is a private well or public water, depends on an understanding of hydrogeology, geochemistry, drinking water standards, and environmental regulations that may apply to water withdrawal.

St.Germain takes a holistic approach to water resource projects by understanding the life-cycle of the resource: from recharge filling a lake or aquifer, to determining whether natural recharge can provide the needed quantity, to predicting the affect of long-term water withdrawal on water quality and the environment. Our work has ranged from identifying a new public groundwater supply, to determining the cause and solution to road salt contamination of a well, to calculating how groundwater withdrawal affects the flow of a nearby stream.
