WATER RESOURCES
Water stress has become one of the most defining issues of the 21st century and Marstel-Day has helped over 20 agencies, nonprofits, corporations, and communities ensure sustainability of their water use, build climate resilience, and strengthen integrated water resource management. Continuous access to clean water in conjunction with water resilience, resource sustainability, and appropriate management and policy development are critical tenets needed to solve the unfolding water crisis. Marstel-Day understands these issues and challenges and brings the expertise and innovative approaches needed to develop solutions that combat water scarcity issues, such as drought, demand forecasting, security, and transboundary partnerships, to share the rising financial burden of water and wastewater management.

Understanding technical aspects of water resource stressors, such as availability, quality, and access, lends credence to Marstel-Day and our partner's ability to develop sustainable and resilient solutions for urban and rural planners. Our rigorous analysis and attention to detail demonstrate a proven ability to build water resource sustainability and integrated water resource management plans, incorporating high-resolution and detailed spatial analysis and rendering, utilizing geographic information systems (GIS), that result in detailed and accurately descriptive products. Our water expertise highlights the requirements to recharge local aquifers, reduce water usage on low priority locations, develop balance in rerouting water from rivers and streams, develop partnerships for increased water sustainability and resilience, and development of forward-looking water management strategies across multiple organizations, locally and regionally.
