Conjunctive Water Management

In recent years, interest in conjunctive water management has grown due to perceived environmental benefits compared to surface water storage projects. Much of this attention focuses on agricultural regions where surface and groundwater resources have already been developed, due to the presence of groundwater supplies and facilities. With its agricultural orientation and technical capabilities, Gentek Consult is uniquely suited to support local agencies in the development of conjunctive water management strategies and programs, especially in irrigation-dominated basins. This support spans the initial characterization of historical and baseline surface and subsurface hydrologic conditions, formulation and assessment of alternative conjunctive management strategies, financial and economic analyses, and environmental screening. Gentek Consult routinely teams with specialists in hydrogeology, economics and environmental sciences to provide the full range of services typically needed for planning and implementing conjunctive use programs.
