Dr. Andrews is nationally known for his creative solutions to difficult water resource problems. His areas of expertise include the assessment and remediation of contaminated sites; formulation of water-resource projects; assessment of surface-water and groundwater flow and quality conditions at hazardous waste sites; design of water remediation systems; and development of new and modification of off-the-shelf numerical simulation models for adaptation to specific field projects. He has provided technical guidance to significant water-rights litigation.
Dr. Andrews is a frequently requested member of groundwater advisory panels for the evaluation of state-of- the-art hydrology and for pioneering research and evaluation of contaminant transport in the subsurface. He is the author and co-author of numerous publications on modeling of groundwater flow and transport of chemical constituents, and the use of analytical models in identifying appropriate remediation alternatives for a site.
