Civil Works Water Resources Planning

Planning is problem solving — and good planning involves the knowledge, skills, and insights of an interdisciplinary team. WESTON’s Civil Works Water Resources Team possesses the required knowledge and skills in plan formulation, economics, environmental resources, engineering, and public involvement to assist the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and other clients in developing and implementing solutions to water resources problems in accordance with applicable authorities and regulations.

The WESTON team understands and operates under
the six-step planning process:

• Specify Problems and Opportunities

• Inventory and Forecast Conditions

• Formulate Alternative Plans

• Evaluate Effects of Alternative Plans

• Compare Alternative Plans

• Select Recommended Plan

With more than 20 years of USACE experience, WESTON’s key staff and associates have professional and senior level planning and environmental experience at the District, Division, and Washington levels. Four members of WESTON’s key staff and associates are graduates of the USACE Planning Associates Program.
