Wolf Water Resources, Inc.

Restores river and floodplain habitats from alpine streams to coastal estuaries by integrating geomorphological processes, hydraulic engineering, and ecological sciences.

• Floodplain Reconnection and Enhancement

  Restores natural hydrological connections between rivers and their adjacent floodplains to revive wetland and riparian ecosystems.

• River Channel and Creek Realignment

  Designs natural, dynamic channel configurations that restore ecological function and sediment transport processes.

• Levee Modification and Removal

  Deconstructs or sets back constraining levees to expand active floodplains and reduce systemic flood risks.

• Fish Passage Improvement

  Removes migration barriers and designs bio-engineered structures to reopen historic spawning and rearing habitats.

• Stage 0 Restoration Design

  Implements valley-scale, process-based designs to reconstruct complex, multi-threaded stream networks.

Enhances stream corridor durability in developed environments through floodplain connectivity rather than imposing rigid, stable forms on naturally dynamic systems.

• Urban Floodplain Connectivity

  Integrates natural flood storage and drainage into built environments to accommodate dynamic stream processes safely.

• Infrastructure Resilience Planning

  Helps municipal agencies protect utility crossings, bridges, and roadways while minimizing impacts on stream corridors.

• Urban Stream Rehabilitation

  Restores ecological functions and stability to channelized, degraded urban waterways using bio-engineered methods.

Applies remote sensing, prioritization models, and landscape-scale planning to integrate restoration, flood risk reduction, and habitat objectives across regional basins.

• Remote Sensing and Multispectral Data Collection

  Uses drone and aerial imagery to map and analyze physical and biological conditions across extensive river corridors.

• Restoration Action Prioritization

  Combines river-process science with spatial data to rank and target conservation investments for maximum watershed benefit.

• Fire Resiliency Planning

  Develops land and water management strategies to mitigate wildfire risks and restore post-fire river systems.

• Hydrologic and Hydraulic Modeling

  Performs advanced computer simulations to evaluate water flow, sediment transport, and flood risks under varying scenarios.

Assists clients in navigating complex floodplain management policies, local ordinances, and federal compliance standards.

• CLOMR and LOMR Applications

  Prepares and submits technical data to FEMA for Conditional Letters of Map Revision and Letters of Map Revision.

• Flood Hazard Mitigation

  Analyzes flood risks and designs passive protection measures for communities and adjacent infrastructure.

Coordinates design and environmental permitting with local, state, and federal agencies to secure approvals for complex restoration works.

• USACE Permitting

  Secures regulatory approvals for levee modifications, wetland impacts, and in-water construction from the US Army Corps of Engineers.

• Agency Consultation and Permitting

  Manages environmental review processes and coordinates multi-agency compliance for watershed projects.

Tracks and evaluates physical and biological outcomes of restoration projects to support long-term adaptive management.

• Low-Tech Process-Based Restoration Monitoring

  Assesses the performance and structural evolution of low-tech, process-based restoration interventions over time.

• Vegetation Response and Re-incision Studies

  Monitors riparian planting success, invasive species re-establishment, and stream channel stability thresholds.

• Drone Imagery Data Collection

  Captures high-resolution aerial data to track geomorphic and vegetative changes across project footprints.
