Water Resources

D&K water resource professionals are thoroughly familiar with the hydrology, hydraulic, and physical characteristics of the Northeast. Our teams include fluvial geomorphologists, wetland scientists, hydrologists, and hydraulic engineers who are supported by permitting specialists, structural engineers, construction phase staff, land surveyors, and landscape architects. We offer a comprehensive understanding of state and federal regulations and procedures for water resource–related projects. Our teams use HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, CAD, and GIS to address projects that involve wetlands, stream alteration, stormwater, dam safety, dredge and fill, and discharge and withdrawal permitting.

Typical assignments include stormwater management, river restoration, streambank stabilization, bridge and culvert replacement, flood damage surveys, subsurface investigations, evaluation of alternative solutions, economic evaluations, environmental analysis, and public engagement. Studies include dam break analyses, flood routing, floodplain/floodway delineation, ice jam analyses, flood frequency/low flow evaluations, reservoir routing, environmental impact assessments, and dam safety inspections and evaluations.
