Meet The Team

Eileen Poeter, P.E., Ph.D., advises Lytle Water Solutions as needed on groundwater modeling projects. Dr. Poeter has over 40 years of modeling experience. She is the past Director of the Integrated Ground Water Modeling Center and an Emeritus Professor of groundwater engineering at Colorado School of Mines. Dr. Poeter has been consulting on groundwater modeling projects through Poeter Engineering since 1986.

Jim Reed is a geologist and the Director of Research and Development at RockWare, Inc. With over 40 years of geological experience, Jim and the other programmers at RockWare have authored software used by over 30,000 corporations, government agencies, and universities throughout the world. Jim assists Lytle Water Solutions on complex geological modeling projects through the creation of custom programs and scientific videos and animations.

Alison Alcott is a geologist and has worked as a consultant and part of the software development team at RockWare, Inc. since 2000. Alison specializes in geological modeling and visualization of subsurface plume and ore bodies, assisting Lytle Water Solutions with both small scale and complex projects involving groundwater flow and subsurface contamination.

Dr. Theodore Hromadka, the principal and founder of Hromadka & Associates, is a renowned expert in hydrologic and hydraulic analyses, groundwater assessments and modeling, sediment and contaminant transport, rainfall distribution, floodplain inundation and flood protection systems, and saturated and unsaturated groundwater flow. Dr. Hromadka has extensive scientific, engineering, expert witness, and litigation support experience.

LWS provides hydrologic services to Hromadka & Associates principally through Mr. Colin Bloor. Mr. Bloor specializes in identifying and analyzing hydrologic data to support development of expert witness arguments and reports, designing algorithms and automated scripts to analyze large data sets, and in developing, running, and reviewing computer-based flow models to investigate fluid behavior during historical hydrogeologic events.

Lytle Water Solutions is currently working in collaboration with Hromadka & Associates to provide hydrologic services to H&A projects, including storm routing analyses and development of depth-area-reduction factor curves. LWS has also collaborated with H&A, Poeter Engineering and RockWare on a large, basin-wide groundwater model in California.
