We know what we are talking about due to our extensive experience in the water resources field.
Our training courses are specifically tailored to the environment and ecology of our coastal, delta, and inland waters.
All of our courses are designed specifically for the end user and are not just monologues of theory. We engage and encourage interaction with the students and liberally use examples from our extensive database of projects.
Presentation is everything and we pride ourselves on explaining complex phenomena in simple digestible formats.
