Water Resources

Jones Edmunds offers comprehensive water resource services. Our focus mirrors the four primary Areas of Responsibility (AORs) of Florida’s water management districts: water supply, flood protection, water quality management, and natural systems management. In addition to offering expertise in each of these areas, we focus on integrating the areas to bring value to our clients through innovative ideas and solutions. Underlying all of our water resources services is our GIS expertise. In addition to having a large number of highly skilled GIS professionals, we have some of the most GIS-proficient engineers and scientists in the state as part of our water resources project teams. This exceptional level of GIS-savvy ensures the most efficient and accurate use of data and technology.

The high-quality services we provide to our clients involve much more than just understanding how to use available technology. One of our greatest strengths lies in the ability of our multidisciplinary teams to work together effectively to develop approaches and solutions that help our clients achieve the most from their investments. Solutions to Florida’s increasingly complex water resources challenges require bringing together expertise in all AORs. Our integrated solutions bridge traditional regulatory and operational frameworks to provide the maximum benefits to our clients.
