Although the world is racing to reduce its green house gas (GHG) emissions, severe hydrologic changes are imminent including increased drought and flooding. As a result of climate change, we know that water will be an enormous problem, but what if we could make it a component of the solution? To discuss a project and receive a quote contact us
Our consulting work focuses on assisting municipalities and their partners with:
- water demand reduction strategies
- increasing block rate structures
- water conservation plans
- GHG reductions and climate change adaptation strategies focused on water resources
- best options for green infrastructure implementation
- storm water ordinance revisions that include green infrastructure as part of standard building practices.
These actions create a ripple effect that extends beyond water and energy conservation to include:
- increased green space and natural carbon storage capacity,
- decreased need for expansion of water treatment, wastewater treatment, and energy generating facilities,
- preservation of surface water resources (through decreased runoff)
- preparation for adaptation to drought (increased supply through conservation)
- preparation for adaptation to flooding (increased infiltration capacity through green infrastructure)
