An adequate supply of clean healthful water is an essential ingredient to a region's economic prosperity and quality of life.  While the wise development, management and use of available water supplies has only recently emerged as a problem in some areas, the GEC staff has been assisting federal, state and local agencies in water supply development and management for more than 20 years.

The evaluation of existing and projected water usage requires awareness of socioeconomic trends and regional growth. Quantifying available water supplies requires hydrologic modeling experience. Development of plans to meet future requirements requires engineering, financial, legal and institutional specialists. Professionals in each of these technical areas are available at GEC to address water supply issues of any magnitude.
