Water Resources Engineer
Boulder, Colorado, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJohn Craven is a water resources engineer and modeler with nine years of experience solving complex surface- and groundwater challenges for private, state, and federal clients. He combines advanced hydrological modeling (RiverWare, MODFLOW, mHM), geospatial and remote-sensing analysis, and custom code development (Python, Fortran) to deliver calibrated, operationally relevant solutions. His work ranges from reservoir and river routing studies to water-rights accounting and consumptive-use estimation, underpinned by practical field-focused hydrology. Trained at the University of Colorado Boulder (BS) and Universität Stuttgart (MS), he brings both U.S. water-law familiarity and European research experience in dynamic vegetation–hydrology coupling. Comfortable working on cluster systems and large hydrometeorological datasets, he often bridges the divide between computational modeling and actionable water-resources planning. Colleagues rely on him for rigorous model development and inventive, data-driven approaches to thorny water-management problems.
