Y-Water Hydrology provides hydrology and hydraulic engineering expertise to communities, agencies, and nonprofit organizations across the United States, to contribute to the technical fields of flood hydrology, dam safety, and stream mechanics & restoration. Publications and tools are provided for use by hydrology, civil engineering, and floodplain management professionals.

Tools and References

A repository of hydrology reports, data, tools, and other scientific and engineering findings developed by Steven Yochum and his collaborators is provided as a contribution to the hydrology community. The focus of these products is on flood hydrology, stream mechanics and fluvial geomorphology, and hydrologic modeling. This information was developed through funding provided by the federal government and is available as a service to the citizens of the United States. Use of these materials needs to be credited to the authors, developers, and organizations.

Decades of experience tackling difficult natural resource issues related to hydrology and hydraulic engineering are available to assist your organization with their technical challenges. This experience includes flood peak and hydrograph predictions for infrastructure design and floodplain management, floodplain erosion and fluvial geomorphic adjustment risk during large floods, dam hazard and failure analyses, bridge scour assessments, stream and riparian restoration planning, coastal flood risk evaluations, and water quality monitoring. Private consulting services are available on a limited basis to clients with projects not associated with National Forest Systems lands managed by the U.S. Forest Service.
