Understanding Water Resources Dynamics Gives Our Clients Enduring Project Solutions
Water is a precious resource in the West, and deepening our understanding of the watersheds is critical for the health of our communities and river systems.
Stream Restoration and Pond Design
WGM Group employs a variety of restoration techniques depending on the unique characteristics of each project and the desired outcomes for the landowner or manager, with a focus on using native materials. Whether the goal is to restore an eroding streambank, enhance fish habitat, improve water quality, reconnect the floodplain, improve natural water storage, or enhance riparian vegetation, our staff has the passion and expertise to deliver.
Irrigation Infrastructure and Fish Passage
Irrigation efficiency improvements can simplify water management, while also benefiting the interconnected stream system. WGM Group has experience designing new diversion structures and retrofitting existing diversion structures, along with pipeline design and installation. We have designed and installed fish bypass channels to ensure upstream fish passage and have experience with a wide variety of fish screens to prevent entrainment of fish in ditches as well as an in-depth understanding of which screen type is best suited for a specific situation.
Watershed Assessments and Drought Planning
Our extensive experience with all aspects of watershed restoration and drought management planning includes computer-based modeling tools and on-the-ground data collection to evaluate water quality and quantity, instream habitat and connectivity, wetland and riparian conditions, stormwater management, groundwater recharge, non-point source pollution, and interactions with the irrigation network.
We approach each watershed as a unique system with interconnected land-use and water resource conservation goals believing that the ecological health of river systems, sustainable water supplies, and robust water treatment and reuse are critical to creating climate resilient watersheds and communities.
Environmental Infrastructure and Nutrient Management
Environmental infrastructure such as constructed treatment wetlands and groundwater infiltration galleries provide avenues for improving water quality and quantity in ways that mimic natural environmental processes. WGM Group helps clients build infrastructure in a way that minimizes environmental impacts.
