Vincent W. Uhl – Professional Hydrogeologist
Mr. Uhl has over 40 years experience in the exploration, development, management,
protection and remediation of groundwater and surface water for public, industrial
and agricultural uses. He consults to industry, municipalities, local governments,
international governments, NGOs, USAID contractors, consulting firms and legal
clients on projects with water resource components. He has worked extensively in
the United States, southern and eastern Africa, Afghanistan, the Philippines, and
India, and in 15 other countries on short-term assignments.
For his many municipal utility, township, and private clients in the United States, he
has managed test and production well drilling programs, aquifer pumping tests, well
rehabilitation programs, wellhead protection program development, land use impact
evaluations and provided technical support for water allocation permitting. He has
investigated and characterized hundreds of industrial sites, large municipal landfills,
interstate petroleum and gas pipelines, and formulated remedial strategies with
regulatory authorities.
Internationally, Mr. Uhl initiated and directed for 5 years a water supply development
for an NGO in Central India which evolved into an organization with over 50 employees
that installed over 3,000 wells, and provided a full-service approach to water supply
development. He was the Team Leader of a two-year groundwater exploration project
performed for the government in northwest Botswana by a multi-disciplinary team
including academics, consultants and practitioners in many specialized technical fields,
that resulted in identifying and quantifying regional water resources in the Kalahari
Desert at the distal end of the Okavango Delta and the installation of well fields.
Short-term expert assignments have ranged from a country-wide evaluation of
groundwater resources and conditions in Afghanistan to the costing of potable water
systems in Ecuador.
Mr. Uhl has taught graduate level courses in hydrogeology at the University of
Maryland, and the University of Akola in India. He was an adjunct professor at the
New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark, New Jersey where he taught a course in
Applied Hydrogeology from 1986 to 1990. He has mentored students at the University
of Pennsylvania in connection with an Engineers Without Borders project in Cameroon
and Guatemala.

Jaclyn A. Baron – Chemical and Water Resources Engineer
Ms. Baron has 30 years experience in industry and consulting on water resource and
environmental projects. Her clients include private corporations, commercial entities,
legal firms, municipal entities, and insurers. She has been the administrative manager
and technical report writer for a variety of extended projects involving groundwater
components. She has been the principal peer reviewer of her firm’s environmental
and hydrogeologic reports, and has lent her judgment and expertise to many technical
documents prepared for litigation and cost negotiation purposes.
In her expansive site assessment, investigation and cleanup practice, she has
addressed many different sites with typical and unique contaminant transport
characteristics including natural gas pipeline compressor stations, electronics plants,
an aluminum refinery, dry cleaners, hazardous waste landfills and treatment facilities,
solid waste landfills, residential and commercial fuel oil tanks, bus company facilities,
gasoline stations, and historical farmsteads. In addition to contributing her knowledge
regarding the water quality aspects of these projects, she has directed their technical
and administrative implementation under federal and state superfund programs,
specific state rules for site assessments, property transfer circumstances, and
voluntary cleanups. She has also participated in a range of watershed studies and
water supply projects.
Internationally, Ms. Baron was the principal technical editor of the Final Report for a
two-year groundwater exploration project performed for the government in northwest
Botswana with sections prepared by the various members of a multi-disciplinary team
including academics, consultants and practitioners in specialized technical fields
including remote sensing, test well drilling, structural geology, surface water hydrology
and well field modeling. She subsequently prepared the water quality monitoring parts
of a Management Plan for several of the well fields planned as a result of this project.

Ashish Daw – Senior Hydrogeologist and GIS Expert
Ashish Daw is a hydrogeologist and a GIS expert with a Bachelors Degree in Geology,
and a Masters Degree in Applied Geology from India. He has completed graduate
studies in hydrogeology from the State University of New York at Buffalo.
Mr. Daw began his career as a hydrogeologist with the Netherlands Assisted Project
Office in Hyderabad, India where he participated in a project to identify areas of wells
in the State of Andhra Pradesh with acceptable fluoride concentrations and setting a
framework for sharing and distributing high quality water. He provided basic
interpretation of satellite imagery and created maps of well locations using image
processing software.
With UHL, Mr. Daw has gained extensive field experience with many aspects of water
supply development and management as well as utilizing his excellent quantitative
and computer skills. He has managed well drilling, installation and development
programs in both bedrock and unconsolidated geologic settings. These programs
have included installing test wells to assess the feasibility of extracting and filtering
river water during periods of high-flow by horizontal collector, and drilling bedrock
wells up to 1000 feet (300 m) to reach into an abandoned iron-ore mine being
considered for a possible water storage reservoir. He managed a highly successful
well redevelopment program to restore a 1.4 million gallon per day (MGD) production
well critically needed by a large water utility and has experience in conducting long
and short-term pumping tests and analyzing data to evaluate aquifer characteristics.
Mr. Daw created an analytical element model (AEM) for simulating groundwater flow
and contaminant transport that supported a water allocation permit issued for a
production well by the State of New Jersey. He is experienced with analytical and
numerical groundwater models and their applications. Mr. Daw has identified
lineaments and faults from aerial photographs and confirmed these features in the
field by working closely with field geophysicists.
On international projects, Mr. Daw has worked in Liberia conducting and training local
staff in water sampling procedures. Additionally he has processed satellite imagery,
interpreted geologic lineaments and fractures from satellite images and aerial
photographs, and created GIS base maps and a related databases for groundwater
supply projects in Afghanistan, Lebanon, and Sri Lanka He has processed and
interpreted satellite images to identify potential well drilling sites for projects in
Afghanistan, Cameroon and Sri Lanka. Mr. Daw is proficient in English, Hindi, Marathi,
and can communicate in various Indian dialects.
