River Connectivity Systems

Who We Are

River Connectivity Systems (RCS) develops practical technologies that improve reservoir operations, water quality, ecological performance, and water infrastructure resilience.

RCS advances adaptive technologies designed to help operators better manage selective withdrawal, reservoir stratification, water quality, invasive species challenges, and operational flexibility in reservoirs and regulated river systems.

Current work includes development of the River Connectivity Selective Withdrawal System (RCSWS) under a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Phase III SBIR award, alongside related efforts in reservoir sediment management, advanced materials, and integrated water–energy–food systems.

RCS works through strategic partnerships with engineers, researchers, contractors, public agencies, and national laboratories to evaluate, develop, and advance practical technologies for reservoirs, hydropower, and regulated river systems.

Founder & Director

Andrew Peters

Andrew Peters is the founder and director of River Connectivity Systems and leads the company’s technology development, commercialization, and strategic partnerships. His work focuses on reservoir stratification, selective withdrawal, water quality, invasive species mitigation, and integrated water infrastructure systems.

Under a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Phase III SBIR award, Andrew leads development of the River Connectivity Selective Withdrawal System (RCSWS), an adaptive technology supporting reservoir and hydropower operations.

Research and Development

River Connectivity Systems advances technologies through a combination of internally developed concepts, federally supported research, national laboratory collaborations, and specialized engineering partnerships. Current efforts include:

• DOE SBIR-supported reservoir infrastructure technologies — selective withdrawal, reservoir stratification, and adaptive water quality management.

• National laboratory collaborations — advanced materials and biofouling-resistant technologies for water infrastructure applications.

• Integrated water systems — evaluating opportunities in reservoir sediment management, pumped storage hydropower, and water–energy–food systems.

RCS works with engineers, researchers, contractors, public agencies, and project developers to evaluate and advance practical technologies for reservoirs, hydropower, and regulated river systems.
