About Our Firms

Todd Groundwater specializes in the planning, development,
management, and protection of surface water and groundwater
resources. We are an employee‐owned and California registered
Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and Women‐owned Business
Enterprise (WBE) certified by the Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) among other
agencies. We are located in the City of Alameda in the San Francisco Bay Area. Since 1978, we
have provided consulting services for the full range of groundwater and related surface water
issues. Todd Groundwater was founded by Dr. David Keith Todd, who was the author of the
widely used textbook, Groundwater Hydrology.
Our staff is composed of thirteen professionals and two support staff. We maintain a small,
specialized staff focused on groundwater services to our clients. Our professional staff members
have advanced degrees in civil engineering, geology, hydrogeology, geochemistry, geography,
and environmental sciences. All of our geologists and engineers are professionally registered in
California (and other states), and most of our geologists are also certified hydrogeologists and
engineering geologists. With an average staff tenure exceeding ten years, we provide our clients
with reliable and consistent service from a cohesive team.

Todd Groundwater has extensive experience in aquifer recharge and recovery projects
throughout California, including conjunctive use and water banking; recycled water recharge;
infiltration testing at recharge sites; well siting, design, drilling, and testing; conceptual and
mathematical modeling; water quality monitoring and protection; successful grant funding
support; CEQA and NEPA studies; and permitting. Our managed aquifer recharge (MAR) projects
make use of all sources of water including local runoff, imported, and recycled water. Many of
our managed aquifer recharge projects are located in Southern California, where conjunctive use
of local, imported, and recycled water has been conducted for decades. We are currently working
with the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (MET) and Los Angeles County
Sanitation Districts (LACSD) assessing recharge and recovery of advanced treated recycled water
in the San Gabriel Basin. For another project, we are working with LACSD and the Water
Replenishment District of Southern California (WRD) evaluating increased water recharge in the
Montebello Forebay Spreading Grounds. We are also currently providing on‐call hydrogeologic
services to Rancho California Water District (RCWD) and the Santa Clara Valley Water District
(SCVWD) evaluating water recharge operations in their respective groundwater basins. Detailed
project descriptions for selected projects are provided in the Project Abstracts section of this
proposal.
