Northwater Consulting

Foundation in Watershed Science & Geosciences

Northwater built its reputation on two core strengths: watershed assessment and management, and groundwater exploration and development. The firm helped protect and improve the water quality of critical river and lake systems across the United States—many serving as drinking water sources—through integrated assessment, planning, and implementation. This work positioned Northwater as trusted experts in addressing water quality and quantity challenges ranging from local source-water protection to national issues such as Gulf of Mexico hypoxia.

Northwater was also known for solving complex water-supply challenges across the United States and in more than 30 countries. Using advanced geoscience methods, the team consistently sourced groundwater and characterized aquifers to support sustainable supplies for municipalities, utilities, agriculture, industry, and water-stressed communities.

This legacy strengthens Spheros Environmental’s work in watershed resilience and sustainable water infrastructure, carrying forward Northwater’s commitment to its clients and the communities it served.
