Water Resource Services

The days of “easy water” are over. Water supply has become a challenging resource to develop and manage. All types of issues surround its development - from competing interests to pollutants (natural and manmade) to physical limitations or geopolitical constraints.

We at Terran have been assisting our clients for over thirty years navigating the various problems that involve the design and implementation of Public Water System (PWS) resources. Whether large municipal entities (Community Water Systems) or small-town operations (Transient Non-Community Water Systems), Terran has successfully assisted our clients in all phases of developing and managing drinking water for their community populations.
