The Hydraulic Investigations and Laboratory Services Group applies hydraulic modeling, analysis, and field testing expertise to the solution of water resources, hydraulics, and fluid mechanics problems. We address site-specific problems and pursue applied research that develops new water resource management tools for Reclamation projects. We operate Reclamation's only hydraulics laboratory, with a history of over 75 years of developing cutting-edge hydraulic engineering technologies. We perform work for Reclamation and other organizations, including international clients, federal, state, and local governments, and private entities. We are part of Reclamation's Technical Service Center, which provides engineering, research, scientific, and laboratory services to all of Reclamation.
