Services
Providing creative solutions to water resource issues for over five decades. This history of innovative thinking led to Stetson's pivotal role in the making and interpretation of western water law. Much of Stetson's work involves water resources engineering in the context of balancing environmental protection and enhancement efforts with development demand.
Stetson's expertise in water resources and water rights was established with the testimony of Thomas Stetson in the landmark case of Arizona v. California (decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1963), which determined water rights in the Colorado River basin and resulted in the Practicably Irrigable Acreage standard to quantify the amount of water Indian tribes are entitled to under the Winter's Doctrine.
Stetson performs hydraulic and civil engineering analysis to meet the flood and stormwater management needs of our clients. Whether on a watershed-wide or small residential development scale, Stetson applies our experience in hydrology and civil engineering to develop unique solutions that solve specific applications and requirements.
With combined experience totaling nearly 20 years, Stetson offers a wide range of geographic information systems (GIS) and database services. Our expertise in GIS helps our clients determine water rights, analyze groundwater storage capacity, calculate temporal changes in water use, assess roads and trails, document urban water management, and model development and land use. Along with these services, Stetson provides high-quality cartographic services and custom web mapping application development.
Stetson provides innovative and effective solutions to the challenges of reservoir, diversion, and river operations. Historically, reservoirs and diversions were built for single or multiple purposes, which typically included water supply, flood control, and/or hydropower generation. Today, these same facilities must also be operated for fish, wildlife, and recreation or to manage water quality, flow, and sediment in the rivers they regulate.
