We are leaders in groundwater consulting & engineering
What We Do
INTEGRATING GROUNDWATER, SCIENCE & ENGINEERING
Our engineers, geologists, hydrogeologists, and hydrologists work together to develop effective solutions and value for your project.
Our work integrates scientific methods and sound engineering principles to solve difficult and complex problems, often involving highly contentious issues and diverse stakeholder interests.
Our Capabilities
Services
Groundwater Resources
Groundwater resources projects are becoming increasingly complex. We identify pertinent issues to develop strategies that will effectively and efficiently complete your project.
Our highly skilled scientists and engineers integrate scientific methods and forward-thinking engineering approaches, while negotiating legal, institutional, and regulatory constraints.
Wells & Pump Stations
We are experts in planning, permitting, engineering design, and construction management services for municipal, industrial, irrigation, and domestic groundwater supplies, Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR), deep wastewater injection wells, and well pump stations.
Treatment, Storage & Distribution
Small or large, new or retrofit, private or public municipal water system, we have the expertise to meet your water treatment and distribution system project needs.
Over the last 40 years, we have been recognized for practical solutions. Comprehensive full- service engineering planning, design, estimation, and construction management are cornerstones of our work. We promote close coordination with our clients for the best possible outcome.
Environmental
LSCE’s environmental services address groundwater quality at local and regional scales including anthropogenic and naturally occurring water quality phenomena. Projects range from site-specific investigations at wastewater treatment plants, landfills, mining operations, and other facilities to non-point source regional water quality issues.
Modeling
There are many hydrologic modeling approaches available, including conceptual, analytical, empirical, and numerical, each with strengths and weaknesses. Local and regional models already exist in some locations. Therefore, understanding of the capabilities and limitations of existing models and their platforms is key for developing an effective and efficient modeling approach.
Data Management Systems
Robust data management systems (DMS) are essential to many of our clients. The public availability of electronic water resources data and the use of high-frequency data collection and telemetry have exploded. DMS technology is rapidly evolving and so are clients’ expectations for enhanced data access and visualization.

Who We Are
WE ARE LEADERS IN GROUNDWATER CONSULTING AND ENGINEERING
OUR WORK DEMONSTRATES OUR COMMITMENT TO QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE
Luhdorff & Scalmanini Consulting Engineers (LSCE) was founded in 1980 in acknowledgement of California’s increasing reliance on groundwater resources and with an understanding of the unique skills required to meet the needs of water resource managers and water users.
Now in our fifth decade, we continue that approach with a commitment to professionalism, lasting relationships, and leadership among groundwater professionals in California.
