Why ECS for watershed planning services

Our watershed planning services combine data-driven techniques with deep expertise and we take a collaborative approach with the Natural Resources Conversation Service (NRCS) and other regulatory bodies. By focusing on managing flood risks, protecting water quality and building resilient communities, we help projects align with federal conservation efforts. With a strong track record of delivering successful projects in compliance with the Clean Water Act and NEPA, we enable clients to avoid costly delays and stay compliant with regulations.

Watershed assessments

Our team conducts in-depth watershed assessments to evaluate hydrologic conditions, land-use impacts and potential environmental stressors. We identify key areas requiring intervention and develop actionable plans to address issues.

Hydrologic and hydraulic (H+H) modeling

We use advanced H+H modeling to simulate water flow, assess flood risks and predict the impacts of different land-use scenarios. Our specialists’ data-driven approach provides detailed and reliable results to support informed decision making.

Collaboration with NRCS

We work closely with the NRCS to align our watershed planning with federal programs, helping clients benefit from the latest research, technical resources and funding opportunities available through NRCS initiatives.

Climate resiliency planning

ECS integrates climate-change projections into our watershed planning, helping communities prepare for challenges such as increased flood risks and changing weather patterns. This approach supports the long-term sustainability and safety of your project by enhancing water-supply security, supporting local ecosystem health and promoting sustainable community development.

Regulatory compliance

Our watershed planning efforts comply with relevant federal, state and local regulations, including the Clean Water Act, NEPA and other applicable laws. Our comprehensive NEPA services encompass the development of Categorical Exclusion (CE) documentation, environmental assessments and Environmental Impact Statements (EIS), serving a diverse array of federal, state, local and private clients across the United States.
