Water Resource Management

Water: Our Most Precious Resource.

Rock Leaf Water Environmental is passionate about improving the quality and efficiency of our water systems. From lakes, rivers and wetlands to urban stormwater systems, our versatile service lines account for the many ways water resources impact our lives. Rock Leaf’s scientists are skilled at uniquely designing and installing meteorological and hydrological instrumentation to monitor and assess watershed management needs. Through remote and on-site data collection, we can map project areas and offer expert assistance in helping you meet your project goals.

“A lake is the landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.” - Henry David Thoreau

Senior Water Scientist, Brian Jastram, demonstrates how remote telemetry systems can be applied to a controlled lake inlet to measure water quality parameters for improved watershed management.
