Litigation Support
WHPA’s highly skilled scientists have experience with research and regulatory agencies that is very useful in court. Our team includes several Ph.D.s, and a collection of professionals with Master’s Degrees in science. Unlike many in the field, most of the staff of WHPA have some background and experience dealing with administrative law. This combination of technical skill, combined with our professional experience makes the scientists on our staff better able to understand and explain the problems faced by those interested in water resources (contamination, shortage, liability, etc.).
Database System Development
One of the most difficult aspects of solving environmental problems is in appropriately managing and making sense of large data sets. Since the 1980s, WHPA has been helping local, state, federal and tribal governments prepare or update their water resource management plans and implement special studies and improvement projects. We use our experience and the client’s local data to develop new tools as we examine innovative and alternative methods for storing, viewing, and modeling hydrological and geological information.
Water Well Design and Construction Oversight
We provide our clients with expert water supply feasibility studies. Armed with the results of these studies, we work to implement design strategies in an efficient manner. We work very closely with our clients and with potential contractors or subcontractors so that we can implement design strategies, prepare bidding documents, and select the ideal teams to complete well construction projects efficiently - on time and within budget. WHPA provides expert oversight of well design and construction projects. We ensure adherence to specifications while being prepared to approve or direct any necessary changes in the field.
Water-Quality Sampling
In addition to analysis of water-quality data, WHPA has experience in the collection of groundwater and surface-water data. WHPA generates and implements sampling plans in accordance with appropriate EPA Methods.
GIS Services
WHPA provides GIS services to clients to help view, model, and query data. Water-resource planning and management requires the use of geographic data. GIS and other spatial-data tools are needed to organize, analyze, and view data.
