Independent Hydrology and Hydraulics Expertise
Engineering Analysis for Complex Water Resources Problems
Bruce McEnroe, PhD, PE, provides independent engineering consulting in hydrology, hydraulics, and water resources. His work includes technical analysis, computer modeling, engineering review, forensic investigation, and expert-witness services for attorneys, engineering firms, and public agencies.
Difficult water-resources problems often require more than a standard calculation. They require an understanding of physical processes, engineering practice, field conditions, uncertainty, and the limitations of available data. Bruce McEnroe combines more than four decades of professional engineering experience with extensive university teaching, research, and practical work on hydrologic and hydraulic issues involving flooding, erosion, stormwater management, dams, pipelines, and pumping systems.
Each assignment begins with a clear definition of the technical question. I identify the relevant data, examine the physical setting, select appropriate methods, evaluate uncertainty, and explain the results in language appropriate to the intended audience. The objective is not simply to produce a model or calculation. It is to provide a technically sound, understandable explanation of the problem and the conclusions supported by the evidence.
Bruce McEnroe, PhD, PE, is an independent engineering consultant and Professor Emeritus at the University of Kansas. His professional experience includes university teaching and research and employment and independent consulting for engineering firms, public agencies, and private clients.
If you have a difficult issue that concerns hydrology or hydraulic engineering, I would be pleased to discuss the matter with you.
