Our water resources engineering expertise supports a spectrum of projects in the following specific areas:

Flood control systems evaluation, planning, and design
Flood hazard modeling analysis
Automated floodplain mapping
Stormwater drainage systems modeling and design
Master drainage planning for land development
Riverine hydrology and hydraulics
River/reservoir systems management plan modeling
Water availability and water rights analyses
Engineering economic evaluation and analyses
Risk and uncertainty modeling analyses
Multiple objective optimization modeling
Water distribution and supply systems modeling and design
Wastewater treatment systems evaluation and planning
Stormwater management and BMP facilities
Hydraulic structures (bridges/culverts) modeling and design
Roadway drainage systems modeling and design

At Civil Systems our water engineering practice is based on systems engineering principle. Our services emphasize optimized engineering solutions using advanced optimization methodology, GIS technology, and modern software applications. Our engineering staff is very well trained and experienced in applying optimization techniques such as linear programming (LP), nonlinear programming (NLP), dynamic programming (DP), and inter programming (IP) to various types of projects, such as reservoir/river systems planning and operations, stormwater drainage systems evaluation, planning, and design. Our engineering staff has extensive experience in applying modern hydrologic and hydraulic modeling techniques, such as HEC-1, HEC-2, Arc Hydro, GeoHMS, HEC-HMS, GeoRAS, HEC-RAS, EPA-SWMM, and WinStorm. We routinely use these modeling techniques to floodplain studies, flood control planning and design, bridge/culvert analysis and design, and urban stormwater drainage systems planning and design. Our engineering staff brings extensive experience in using Corps of Engineers' Flood Damage Analysis (FDA) in flood control systems evaluation and planning.
