Protecting and restoring the function and value of our water resources
is important. We all depend on water as an essential element for life
as well as an important recreational resource. A healthy aquatic system
supports a balanced ecology for our food supply and is a key indicator
of our ability to maintain a sustainable and quality environment for
future generations.
At Water’s Edge, we look to nature to find solutions that can
help balance human activities with water resource protection. Through
our understanding of natural processes we have been able to develop and
successfully apply a number of new technologies to treat industrial
wastewater treatment, restore watersheds impacted by mine drainage and
acid rain, restore and create wetland habitat, stabilize eroded stream
channels, and manage stormwater.
Our practice is dedicated to advancing the use of natural
system designs for water resource management. This commitment is
reflected in the business objectives of the firm which are:
- To provide scientific leadership through objective assessment, analysis, and reporting
- To use natural technologies based on appropriate knowledge, experience, or testing
- To maintain an active role in applied research and development
- To assist others by sharing scientific knowledge and experience
Together, the founding principals Terry Rightnour and Kevin Hoover have
over 50 years of experience in the field of water resource management
specializing in consulting services for environmental compliance and
ecological restoration. Our services are provided to a wide range of
clients including: electric utility companies, mining operations, land
developers, governmental agencies, universities, private research
institutions, engineering and architectural firms, and nonprofit
corporations.
Our overall goal is to provide our clients sound advice and
practical solutions. While many of our projects have been recognized
for innovation and creative design, the most important measure of our
success is the continued trust that our clients place in us to help
them meet environmental obligations and restoration objectives.
