Project Experience

As the principal engineer leading projects at The Bari Consulting Inc., Dr. Masih Bari brings more than two decades of experience directing and supporting complex programs in watershed planning and management, stormwater and urban hydrology, groundwater and surface water modeling, and water quality compliance. His work combines technical depth with strategic insight—bridging analytical modeling, regulatory interpretation, and practical design implementation to deliver effective, defensible, and sustainable results.

​

Dr. Bari has managed and contributed to high-profile projects across California and the United States, guiding multidisciplinary teams in advancing stormwater capture systems, channel and infrastructure improvements, groundwater sustainability plans, and watershed-scale modeling and planning studies. His experience also includes expert analysis and testimony in water resources litigation, climate resilience studies, and basin-scale modeling projects sponsored by national and international agencies.
