Hydrau-Tech

Hydrau-Tech, Inc. is an engineering consulting firm specializing in design of irrigation dams,  design of water conveyance, control and measurement structures, irrigation water management, river basin planning, water resources management, conjunctive use of surface and groundwater resources, institutional strengthening and capacity building of water organizations, flood forecasting and routing, watershed management, river and reservoir sedimentation control, river geomorphology and environmental management of sedimentation since 1980. Hydrau-Tech, Inc., along with its associates (from Colorado State University, Society of Afghan Engineers, and others), has done extensive consulting work in more than 30 countries:

Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Chile, China, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Georgia, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Moldova, Myanmar, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Puerto Rico, Romania, Spain, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Thailand, Turkmenistan, USA, Uzbekistan and Zambia.

Hydrau-Tech has also conducted basic research in measuring velocity and shear fields in spillways and stilling basins, around piers and abutments and at channel contractions, and developed several well-known sediment transport and bridge scour relationships. They also authored the International Handbook of Reservoir Sedimentation. They have participated in numerous national and international projects and are recognized through their knowledge and expertise in:

  • Design of dams, barrages, weirs, and hydropower structures;
  • Modeling of various aspects of dam hydraulics and sedimentation;
  • Water resources planning/management;
  • Physical and numerical modeling of hydraulic structures;
  • Design, operation and rehabilitation/modernization of irrigation infrastructure;
  • Irrigation water management;
  • Environmental river mechanics/engineering;
  • Hydrology and drainage design (storm/sewer);
  • Water distribution system design;
  • Agricultural hydraulics;
  • Modeling of complex channel networks;
  • Hydraulics of dam failures and changes in channel morphology due to dam failures;
  • Numerical modeling of rivers, reservoirs, and watersheds;
  • Experimental and numerical modeling of scour and hydraulics at hydraulic structures;
  • Erosion and sedimentation; and
  • River mechanics and river morphology.
