Instream Resources

Aspect provides stream flow enhancement, water rights assistance, and fish passage support to restore and protect instream resources. Our hydrogeologists develop practical recommendations to help increase fish survival rates and enhance habitats. Our geotechnical team supports design and construction of fish passage projects to sustain fish migration patterns. We are adept at teaming with engineering and habitat professionals to develop multi-discipline solutions that support both fish and flows.
