Water quality is a term used to describe the chemical, physical, and biological characteristics of water, usually in respect to its suitability for a particular purpose. Our staff has extensive experience using and developing mathematical models to describe the fate and transport of chemicals that may compromise water quality. Our specific experience includes:
- Development of water quality monitoring programs for streams, rivers, lakes, estuaries, discharges, groundwater, and coastal waters
- Review of water quality standards and site-specific criteria development
- Fate and transport modeling in rivers and lakes
- Total maximum daily load (TMDL) analysis and review
- Aquatic ecotoxicology risk assessments
- Human health risk assessment evaluations
- Chemical hazard exposure evaluations
