Water-resource assessment and hydrological analysis
DK Hydrotech supports hydropower and mining decisions with analysis of long-term water availability and hydrological extremes. The work describes the flow statistics, seasonal and inter-annual variability, climate information, and uncertainty that matter to project decisions.
Quantify water availability
Water-resource studies can combine streamflow records, climate data, catchment information, and field monitoring. The analysis can help characterize expected conditions and show how conclusions depend on the available data and methods.
