With groundwater resources as a source of potable and irrigation water, the development and protection of aquifers has become a critical priority. Protecting existing groundwater supplies and planning effectively for their development, management and protection requires an in-depth understanding of local and regional hydrogeologic conditions, as well as state-of-the-art analytical and design approaches. Ramapo is experienced in all aspects of groundwater supply development, management and protection.

Businesses and individuals today are faced with a wide range of complex issues that can pose significant liability when environmental releases are involved.

This data is then synthesized into a conceptual site model that depicts the relationship(s) of contamination to a potential source and responsible party.
