Services > Water Resources
Water resources engineering has been tasked to supply water for human consumption and avoid damage from excess and contaminated water, while doing so. DCSE’s Water Resource services include activities such as: economic analysis of water projects and water budgeting; water demand forecasting and conservation estimates; ground water and well management; hydraulic model simulation; application and database development; organization policy establishment and stakeholder involvement; cost-benefit analysis of competing alternatives and development of long and short-term water management and watershed planning. DCSE also helps in collecting, analyzing, and disseminating water-related data through GIS applications and other custom tailored tools.
Water Resource Planning
Our work in this area often forms the basis for decisions regarding fundamental policy directions, environmental assessment of water resource projects, and infrastructure investment programs. DCSE’s Water Resource Planning team is responsible for helping plan for conservation, development, use, and management of water resources by the Client agencies. DCSE has designed Tools and solutions for forecasting water demands (Water Demand Forecaster) as well as for ground water management (WRIS).
Water Distribution and Water Quality
The water distribution system is the essential link between the water supply source and the consumer. The distribution network is laid out in a continuous looped system to circulate water and maintain constant system pressure. The Water Distribution Agencies or Departments are responsible for the maintenance of water mains, water services, fire hydrants, water valves and backflow devices located within the Agency’s service area. DCSE works with employees and their knowledge of the distribution system and expertise in maintenance and helps ensure the Agency delivers safe, high-quality water to their customers.
Wastewater and Storm water
DCSE has helped agencies inventory all its sewer and storm infrastructure and develop tools and workflows to trace sanitary systems to prevent spillage. DCSE has performed Infiltration & Inflow (I&I) Studies on the Sanitary System. DCSE has also worked on NPDES permitting requirements in Cities and Agencies.
