Sarah Rife, PE

Engineer IV
Parametrix, Washington, United States

Sarah is a water resources engineer with experience in hydrologic and hydraulic modeling and site hydrologic analyses. Her main experience is doing site assessments that are translated into a hydrologic and hydraulic desktop analysis for fish-passage culvert replacement, and trail design. This includes using continuous models (MGSFlood, WWHM) to determine basin flows and producing a 1D or 2D model (i.e. HEC-RAS, SMS SRH 2D, EPA SWMM) to simulate real-life events. Sarah’s experience includes streambed material design, large woody material design, flood risk assessment, and scour analysis.
