Stormwater Management

Sustainable stormwater management involves integrating multiple considerations during the design and build of water resource management solutions. SCS Engineers helps the private and public sectors determine the quantitative and qualitative factors important to achieving sustainable solutions and meeting future water demand forecasts. Quantitative factors such as return on investment and financing are always important. Qualitative factors impact the longer-term value of a solution and have implications for the bottom line. These factors include social elements, such as waterway health; political elements; and environmental factors, such as climate change.

Environmental consciousness is growing, and SCS is increasingly hired for our expertise in developing appropriate self-imposed standards to ensure that the water quality of our clients’ discharges remains beneficial to the downstream natural ecosystem. SCS’s stormwater clients have facilities spanning a large variety of industries, from solid waste to manufacturing to industrial waste. Still, they all have one thing in common: they all appreciate knowing the degree to which they are serving as protectors of the environment by meeting or exceeding water quality standards.
