Geographic Information Systems (GIS) |
|
Understanding the past, present, and future movement of water and contaminants in the subsurface is essential to making wise environmental decisions. GIS applications are many and diverse, from organizing and analyzing hydrological and chemical data to interactive site-wide inventory systems that track equipment. GIS is particularly useful for managing large amounts of data associated with complex site investigations and large-scale water resources studies. GIS brings all of the data together into a coherent whole and allows cost-effective and efficient querying, analysis, and presentation.
Our specialized expertise, enhanced by years of water resource investigations in semiarid areas of the Southwest, is invaluable to public and private entities faced with water resources and other environmental issues.
GIS for Water Resource Evaluation
DBS&A uses GIS to assess existing water resources, develop management plans, support water rights claims, evaluate conveyance and infrastructure, and conduct computer models for predictive impacts.
GIS for Litigation Support
Geographic Information System (GIS) technology provides a powerful tool for the environmental attorney in the courtroom. DBS&A uses GIS for cost allocation and recovery, forensic geochemistry, natural resource damage assessment, water rights/resources analysis, and site assessment, characterization, and remediation.
GIS for Mining
DBS&A uses GIS in its integrated approach to solving environmental and closure issues. GIS is used in computer modeling to evaluate seepage, leakage, and recharge.
GIS for Tribal Needs
DBS&A provides comprehensive environmental consulting services to tribal nations throughout the U.S. We understand that tribal projects require a special sensitivity and awareness of cultural and sovereignty issues and a critical need for confidentiality. Tribal clients include the Hopi Tribe, the Pueblo of Acoma, the Pueblo of Jemez , the Pueblo of Santa Ana, the Pueblo of Zia, the Mescalero Apache Tribe, and the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe. |
