We help clients identify and integrate brackish groundwater resources into their portfolio, partnering with engineers to desalinate as required.
To help our clients meet their water demands in environments where supplies have become increasingly limited, M&A uses cutting-edge techniques to characterize brackish and saline groundwater sources. Brackish water, which is available in many parts of Arizona and other southwestern states, is a feasible alternative for augmenting drinking water supplies in a sustainable manner. Brackish and saline supplies can also be used as process water in industrial applications. M&A partners with engineering contractors to develop an effective team that offers clients the range of skills needed to characterize, treat, and manage these sources.
