Hydrogeology

 

The more drops of clean water there are, the more the world will shine (Mother Teresa of Calcutta)

 

Sinergeo develops and provides integrated management solutions for water resources in porous media, cracked clusters and karstic systems.

Our services and consulting offer can be customized to respond to the client's specific problem and context. Each new case poses a fresh challenge, a unique opportunity to be seized with enthusiasm.

Water is our primary objective. The sustainable use and protection of this precious resource poses serious questions that call for competence and responsibility.

Our sectors of interest range from aqueducts to energy and from farming to industry, but we also deal with the way water interacts with buildings and infrastructure, the role of fluids in hydrogeological instability, their links to the ecosystem, and climate change.
