Groundwater Services
Groundwater, as the name implies, is water that is below the ground surface. Groundwater is the primary source of water for 50 percent of the American population and serves as a water supply for 95 percent of rural America. Increasing populations are relying on groundwater for water supply and Tetra Tech is there to provide communities with this reliable drinking water source.
In some locations, groundwater has become contaminated and remediation is necessary. Tetra Tech is an internationally recognized leader in characterizing groundwater contamination, developing logical conceptual models of contaminated sites and performing groundwater remediation. Tetra Tech has helped write U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidance documents on groundwater remediation including those involving DNAPLs, a major problem in industrialized areas.
