Hydrologic Modeling
Lynker develops hydrological models to analyze, understand, and explore solutions for sustainable water management in order to support decision makers and operational water managers. The application and development of hydrological models are key activities of Lynker. This allows us to increase our knowledge about hydrological processes, and provide sustainable solutions for integrated water resources management based on hydrologic scenario analysis.
Water Resource Planning
Lynker is leading the development and implementation of integrated water resources planning solutions to help our clients manage these kinds of complex environmental challenges, where active management of the built and natural components of the water cycle are key to water sustainability.
Climate Change Impact & Adaptation
We work with clients to interpret and communicate climate change science. We help develop business cases for risk assessment and adaptation, visualize climate change and provide training and stakeholder engagement. Using straightforward tools and approaches to identify and prioritize risks, we assess climate change impacts for a diverse range of vulnerable communities.
Flood Forecasting
Lynker develops hydrological models to analyze, understand, and explore solutions for sustainable water management in order to support decision makers and operational water managers. The application and development of hydrological models are key activities of Lynker. This allows us to increase our knowledge about hydrological processes, and provide sustainable solutions for integrated water resources management based on hydrologic scenario analysis.
The increasing abundance of climatological, hydrological, and remote sensing ‘big’ water data in the public domain nowadays calls for enhanced data analysis, data handling, data management and data integration methodologies to translate scientific data to knowledge products that are informative, intuitive, understandable and supportive in water resources decision making. Lynker knows what data is available, how to access it, and how to translate data into useful integrated products. We can combine data with objective-specific hydrological simulation models in hydroinformative products. We are specialized in visualizing and converting complex results of numerical models to comprehensible information for policy makers.
Environmental Planning & Restoration
Lynker provides a variety of environmental assessment, restoration services, and environmental litigation support for public and private entities, including businesses, nongovernmental organizations, and local governments, and work with these entities to secure funding for restoration projects along the Gulf Coast and other locations.
Watershed, River, & Coastal Management
Lynker’s Water Resources professionals incorporate our water resources experience with our respected geomorphology practice to provide watershed planning and stream assessments, water quality and quantity analyses, river restoration, and coastal environment management. From desktop analysis to field assessments to design and on the ground construction, our technical staff conduct assessments on the existing condition of the watershed that can be included with and incorporated into a comprehensive water quality and quantity model to aid in the identification of restoration opportunities within a watershed and on streams, information can then be used to prioritize restoration activities and restoration design-build projects led by our experienced professionals.
Feature Project
Lynker scientists are currently working with the State of Colorado on a first-of-its-kind climate risk analysis project – Future Avoided Cost Explorer (FACE: Colorado Hazards). This statewide study estimates dollar-value damages from future floods, droughts, wildfires across select sectors of Colorado’s economy. The State of Colorado has recognized that these hazards are likely to worsen as the impacts of climate change intensify the severity of the hazards and as population growth increases the number of people at risk.
By helping Coloradans better understand their current and future economic risks from flood, drought, and wildfire, this tool can help stimulate the implementation of smart adaptation strategies and policy frameworks that can improve the prospects for sustainable prosperity in a rapidly changing environment.
