Hydrotechnical engineering & decision systems
Water-resource analysis for hydropower, mining, utilities, and public agencies.
DK Hydrotech helps owners and operators make decisions about long-term water availability, environmental flows, hydropower performance, and hydrometric data. Work integrates hydrological analysis with the systems teams already use.
- Experience
- Hydrotechnical engineering for water-resource and hydropower decisions
- Geography
- British Columbia and Yukon, with potential projects in the U.S. Pacific Northwest
- Research
- Research and open data for hydrology in British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest
Environmental-flow and hydrometric analysis
Analytical support for decisions about environmental-flow requirements and flow ramping, using data from existing monitoring systems.
- Compliance analysis and reporting
- Hydrometric data QA/QC
- Monitoring data integration
Water-resource assessment
Long-term water-availability analysis for hydropower and mining, with flow statistics, flood frequency, seasonal variability, climate data, and uncertainty described for the decision at hand.
- Mean annual discharge and low-flow statistics
- Flood-frequency analysis
- Observed and forecast climate data integration
Hydropower operations and due diligence
Technical analysis for operating decisions and asset purchases, including environmental flows, turbine performance, and comparisons between observed and expected generation.
- Hydropower performance analysis
- Technical support for purchase due diligence
- Operations analysis
Research and data
Doctoral research, hydrology publications, and open datasets support work on streamflow, basin attributes, and data-informed water-resource decisions.
