About the Firm
Decades of Field Experience in the Black Hills and Beyond
Anderson Water Consulting was founded on the principle that sound water resource decisions require both rigorous science and deep familiarity with the land. Our team has spent decades working across the Black Hills, the Great Plains, and the broader West — conducting field investigations, testifying before regulatory bodies, and delivering analysis that holds up under scrutiny.
We work directly with our clients — no layers of project managers between you and the expert doing the work. That means faster answers, clearer communication, and analysis you can stake a project on.
