Water Resources

CP& Y, Inc. and Nationwide Water Resource Services, Inc. (NWRS) have recently joined forces to deliver specialized services in the water resources field.

Our expertise in water resources engineering allows the firm to provide a broad range of services to our clients in both the public and private sectors.  These services cover the entire spectrum of surface water resources engineering and management, responding to extreme events ranging from severe droughts to damaging floods, while operating within an increasingly-complex regulatory framework on the Federal, State and local levels.  

Application of current technology and modeling expertise to our clients’ specific water resources needs, along with our constant interaction with the regulatory community, allows CP&Y to develop innovative and cost-effective solutions to a wide array of water resources projects and also supports design efforts and studies throughout other areas of the firm’s professional practice, including environmental engineering, aviation, transportation and transit.  

Our history of repeat business in water resources reflects the firm’s high-quality services and our success in addressing specific project objectives, while navigating the complex regulatory constraints that affect virtually all of our projects.  Our clients include municipalities, districts, State and Federal agencies, industry (particularly the electric utility, mining and petrochemical industries), the private development community, agriculture, recreational interests and numerous engineering, environmental, legal and other professional firms.
