Founded in 1990 by Michael McDonald and Daniel Morrissey following distinguished careers with the U.S. Geological Survey, MMA has deep roots in groundwater science and numerical modeling. As a co-developer of the original MODFLOW code, Mike McDonald helped establish the foundation for what has become the world’s most widely used groundwater modeling software. That legacy continues to shape MMA’s commitment to technical excellence, scientific rigor, and high-quality groundwater consulting.
McDonald Morrissey Associates has been solving complex groundwater problems since 1990. Nationally recognized for the analysis of groundwater flow systems, MMA combines decades of specialized experience with sophisticated quantitative modeling and practical, independent technical guidance.
