Water Resources: Capabilities
Watershed Management and Decision Support Tools
We have experience in the development of decision support systems for watershed-oriented management and decision making. Our tools draw on a variety of water quality models and databases for diverse modeling needs, including
-
Quantifying point and nonpoint sources
-
Cross-media analyses
-
Studying fate and transport in receiving waters
RTI-developed tools help decision makers determine the best solutions for pollution control at local, regional, and national levels. Our information management tools have been applied in the United States and in emerging market countries, bringing together GIS data and water quality models to inform decision making. RTI has used GIS to conduct river basin-modeling in Bulgaria, China, Hungary, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Poland, Romania, and Slovakia.
