WASHINGTON, DC, August 22, 2003 -
ICF Consulting and IMTA, the Mexican Institute of Water
Technology (Instituto Mexicano de Tecnología

to provide environmental and water resources services
worldwide.

The alliance combines ICF Consulting's extensive expertise
in designing and implementing environmental programs with
IMTA's expertise in developing and applying new technologies
to solve environmental and water resources problems. This
milestone follows two years of negotiations that included
changing the legal status of IMTA within the Mexican Government
to permit a strategic alliance with a foreign commercial organization.
 "The
ICF Consulting-IMTA alliance provides clients affordable state-of-the-art
environmental and engineering solutions to problems anywhere
in the world. Through this alliance, we expect to create significant
opportunities to protect and better use our resources,"
said Francisco Silva, ICF Consulting Senior Vice President.
"The ICF Consulting-IMTA alliance will undoubtedly synergize
the strengths of both our organizations, for the benefit of
our common clients, by combining know-how, experience, and
scientific and technological expertise in the water resources
and environmental fields. We are certain that the alliance
will multiply opportunities for both IMTA and ICF Consulting
and will be very much appreciated by those to whom, together,
we will provide our services," said Alvaro Aldama, Managing
Director of IMTA.
As a decentralized organization coordinated by the
Mexican Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, IMTA
(www.imta.mx) encompasses 13 specialized laboratories for
certifying equipment and materials, developing prototypes,
and conducting water resources research. IMTA operates two
training centers in Mexico as well as a water consultation
center, focused on problem solving.
