Did the developmentcause the flooding?
Independent hydrologic and hydraulic review for attorneys and legal teams, documented clearly enough for people who aren’t engineers.
What the wateractually did.
Flooding disputes usually come down to cause and effect.
What did the land do before? What does it do now? Did the change make a difference downstream, and how much? Creel builds that comparison with the same hydrologic and hydraulic models agencies rely on.
The analysis says what it says. Creel’s job is to find out, explain it plainly and stand behind the numbers.
