Amer Hussain, PE

Amer’s engineering background in water resources and groundwater management provides a foundation for him to develop solutions to address water supply needs for a variety of public and private clients. As a practicing civil engineer in California’s central valley, he has a deep understanding of farm activities and irrigation practices along with the challenges the agricultural industry faces as it seeks solutions to water and land management. Amer works closely with his agricultural clients to identify ways to reduce agricultural reliance on groundwater and, if necessary, seeks ways to repurpose the land for alternative beneficial reuse (e.g., energy development, ecological reserves and wetlands) that benefit the community he has lived in for decades. Amer brings well-established working relationships with the local water supply providers and regulatory agencies.

Under the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SMGA) framework, Amer has established relationships with local groundwater sustainability agencies (GSAs) and assisted them in the development of groundwater sustainability plans (GSPs) mostly for critically over-drafted basins. He is currently working with GSAs as they address Department of Water Resources comments to their GSPs. Additionally, Amer is working with GSAs to prioritize projects and identifying and assisting with grant applications for implementation.

Amer understands that any solution to a water supply issue involves both supply and demand. He works with GSAs, irrigation districts, and other water purveyors to identify new sources of water to evaluate the feasibility of water conveyance. In addition, he specializes in water rights applications and application assistance.
