Water Resources & Hydrogeology

Looking for hydrogeology experts for groundwater modeling?
Hydrometrics provides expert hydrogeology and groundwater modeling services to clients throughout Montana and the western United States. Our hydrogeologists specialize in conceptual site models, numerical groundwater flow modeling, contaminant transport modeling, and water resource evaluations to support permitting, remediation, and long-term water management decisions.

Hydrometrics, Inc. provides professional water resources and hydrogeology services, with specialized expertise in groundwater modeling, aquifer evaluation, and hydrogeologic investigations. Our team of licensed engineers and hydrogeology experts supports municipal, mining, industrial, and environmental projects with technically defensible analyses that meet regulatory and project-specific requirements.

Our hydrogeologists develop and apply conceptual and numerical groundwater models to evaluate aquifer behavior, groundwater–surface water interaction, pumping impacts, contaminant transport, and long-term water resource sustainability. These models are used to support water supply development, mine permitting, environmental compliance, and remediation planning.

Hydrometrics’ experience includes basin-scale groundwater investigations, site-specific hydrogeologic characterization, and groundwater modeling at complex sites with contamination concerns such as metals, petroleum hydrocarbons, solvents, cyanide, and other organic and inorganic compounds. Our work has supported projects regulated under CERCLA, RCRA, state permitting programs, and water rights frameworks.

We work closely with clients and regulatory agencies to deliver clear, reliable groundwater modeling results that support informed decision-making, practical design solutions, and long-term resource protection.
