In the course of hydrogeological studies questions frequently arise as to the impact that changes will have on the water table and on the hydrologic situation. The soil and the vegetation cover are often affected.

We bring our considerable experience in the “geo” and “hydro” disciplines to bear in a holistic approach to the local ecology. Our specialists are highly qualified and experienced in pedological and biological studies and assessments. We carry out surveys, measurements and, if appropriate, laboratory experiments in the process of analysing complex issues. If necessary, we perform mathematical modelling and integrate the data pool and the results of the simulations.

Our holistic approach makes the specialists in our team particularly competent in the following areas:

• Mapping of biotopes
• Baseline studies for fauna and flora (biomonitoring)
• Ecological evaluation of interventions
• Water rights applications
• Checking of the effects of human activities on the status of groundwater in the spirit of the EU Framework Directive for Water
• Concepts for activities compensating for ecological impacts

Should our clients have special requirements, then we augment our team with experts from affiliated companies and long-standing cooperation partners.
