Water & Earth Technologies

What Water & Earth Technologies does

Water & Earth Technologies, Inc. (WET) is a privately held water resources and environmental engineering consulting firm founded in 1997 and headquartered in Severance, Colorado. The firm delivers specialized services across surface and ground water hydrology, flood warning systems, data acquisition, hydraulic structure design, geomorphic reclamation, erosion and sediment control, and mining environmental services. Its client base comprises mining operators and public-sector entities — counties, cities, and special districts — with operational reach spanning the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, and Australia, supplemented by remote offices in Kalispell, Montana and Wimberley, Texas.

WET generates revenue primarily through project-based professional services engagements. Its technical work combines standard hydrologic and hydraulic modeling platforms (HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS, SWMM) with proprietary methodologies developed over 20+ years, notably the Rocky Bottom Channel design and a geomorphic reclamation practice. The firm leverages instrument vendor partnerships with Campbell Scientific and Hydrolynx Systems, holds certified-installer status for proprietary data acquisition hardware, and maintains a working relationship with the National Weather Service to support ALERT/ALERT2 flood warning deployments. The technical team is small — approximately nine named senior professionals with multi-state Professional Engineer registrations and over 100 years of combined experience — and the firm is privately held by founders/management with no disclosed external funding.

The business model is that of a niche specialty consultancy: project-based fee revenue from mining and government clients, monetized through differentiated technical expertise and integrated hardware-software-services delivery rather than through scalable software or platform economics.

Core offering

Water & Earth Technologies, Inc. (WET) is a water resources and environmental engineering consulting firm that delivers hydrologic/hydraulic modeling, environmental management, mining services, and field data collection. The firm supports public agencies and mining operators with stream restoration, erosion and sediment control, flood warning systems, environmental permitting, and remote monitoring programs using industry-standard modeling software and field instrumentation.

Product overview

Water & Earth Technologies (WET) is a water resources and environmental engineering firm providing professional consulting services rather than a software product. The company offers an integrated portfolio of engineering services organized into four main practice areas: Water Resource Engineering (storm water management, stream restoration, hydrology and hydraulics), Environmental Management (ALERT system engineering, remote camera monitoring), Mining Services (geomorphic reclamation, water monitoring, permitting), and Data Management (GIS, database management, analysis and reporting). These services are delivered through specialized offerings including flood warning systems, erosion and sediment control, water quality monitoring, and environmental compliance. WET utilizes industry-standard modeling software (HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS, EPA SWMM) and monitoring equipment from Campbell Scientific and HydroLynx Systems. The company operates from offices in Severance CO, with remote offices near Kalispell Montana and Wimberley Texas, serving domestic and international clients since 1997.
