Genesis

After leading the water resources groups of two large consulting companies, Mark Wildermuth discovered that his 14 years of water engineering experience was highly coveted by agencies and companies in need of strategic guidance for water resource problems. He spent the first half of his career working for large companies where the bottom line was more important than the client's needs and often more important than developing long-term sustainable solutions. It was during this time that he developed a unique outlook and distinct method for how water resources consulting should be approached. In 1990, Mark broke out on his own and founded Wildermuth Environmental. Since that time many like-minded engineers and scientists with similar values have joined Wildermuth Environmental.

Since its launch, the company has adhered to its singular vision: to participate in significant and positive ways to the solution of important environmental problems and to support important environmental decision processes; Wildermuth seeks out critical, challenging, and intriguing projects. WEI is known for its ability to identify opportunities for clients. WEI's business model is to provide innovative and superior service to their clients and that, in the long run, the magnitude of profits generated in this pursuit will parallel the level of service.

WEI is known for accurately identifying water resource issues and, through the application of science and mediation, developing solutions that place equal value on fusing the needs of clients, preserving environmental integrity, and supporting surrounding communities.
