About Us

American Weather & Hydrology, LLC  offers research and study programs in the fields of hydrology, hydrologic engineering, hydraulics, and water resources, with emphasis on floods, droughts, water conservation, management of reservoirs and reservoir systems, water pollution and contamination, and ground water management. Included are:

• Avalanche control:  studies; coordinated implementation of control programs and public awareness programs.

• Burned watershed studies; mud and debris flow studies; modeling.

• Climatic change - natural and man-made on various time scales, from decades to millions of years [see Global warming / cooling below].

• Dam and levee structure studies; dam safety; dam and levee failure inundation maps; public awareness programs.   

• Drought preparedness:  official planning; public awareness, rationing.

• Flood and drought frequency analyses: 

  • Peak river levels; annual maximum or minimum flow rates.

  • Maximum or minimum reservoir levels or storage volume.

• Flood-control channel and reservoir design and planning; design storms.

• Flood insurance determinations.

• Flood plain management studies.

• Flood preparedness:  official planning; public awareness and planning.

• Global warming / cooling;;   climatic change and global warming modeling by  Dr. Jeremy Pal, Professor of Civil Engineering and hydroclimatology specialist, and by other climate change modeling specialists  [see Global Warming and Climate Modeling page].

• Ground water management studies.

• Hydroelectric power research and studies.

• Hydrogeologic research and studies.

• Hydrometeorological research and studies, especially as related to dam safety, flood control, and water supply  [see also Meteorology, Sun, and Light Levels Research and Studies].

• Public awareness programs on water contaminants.

• Quality of public water supply.

• Reservoir water control manuals; hydrologic manuals.

• Stochastic watershed analysis.

• Surface and ground water quality research.

• Water conservation programs:  official planning; public awareness, planning, and implementation.

• Water intrusion prevention studies: 

  • Surface water flow. 

  • Ground water table. 

  • Underground sea water penetration in coastal communities.

• Water resources research and studies.
