Our team guides you through the full well-permitting process, from site evaluation, well design and submission of application, to final drilling approval. We coordinate technical details—hydrogeologic review, pump horsepower calculations, well log preparation—and interact with the Colorado Division of Water Resources on your behalf. We can offer guidance on licensed well drillers in your area and help walk you through the DER inspection process. With experience navigating the permit landscape, we deliver a streamlined path to approved and properly registered wells.

Reliable data is foundational for water management—our monitoring services deliver that foundation. We deploy groundwater and surface water measurement systems, install sensors and loggers, conduct monthly inspections and sample collection, and generate analytical reports. These deliverables support compliance, provide operational insight, and form the basis for informed decision-making across water systems and augmentation programs.

We provide full-service design and consulting for augmentation storage ponds—storing water that is used to offset the impacts of water use from wells or other surface water diversions and are used in areas where water resources are scarce or where demand is growing. We evaluate site conditions, conduct geotechnical and hydraulic analyses, prepare permit submittals, and oversee construction. From capacity sizing to AFY analysis, our services ensure your pond system meets regulatory criteria, integrates sound engineering design and supports sustainable water resources management for your property or project.

Mace Water & Land manages augmentation plans and water transfers with precision and regulatory compliance in mind. Whether developing a plan to offset pumping impacts or facilitating the sale or lease of water rights, we prepare technical memoranda, monitor diversion volumes, and draft required contracts. This includes strategies such as capturing and storing water that would otherwise not be used including rainwater harvesting, snowpack augmentation, or groundwater recharge. Our focus is on delivering defensible plans that align with Colorado water law and protect your long-term rights and operations.

Our surface water services encompass diversion, appropriation, and augmentation support for streams, ditches, and reservoirs. We assist in water right applications, exchange filings, augmentation obligations, and compliance tracking. Leveraging our understanding of Colorado’s surface-groundwater interactions, we help clients secure and manage right-of-way, guard against calls, and maintain productive surface water use.
