Integrated Water Resource Planning
Integrated water resource planning empowers community leaders and water managers with a greater understanding and practical solutions for their water supply challenges today and in the future. For utilities, a strong customized water planning strategy will convert resource challenges to opportunities, support system adaptability and resiliency, and mitigate uncertainties. For communities, it will enhance quality of life, protect natural resources, and create a long-term legacy of resource management.
In 1894, Freese and Nichols founder John Hawley became one of Texas’ first water consulting engineers. Since then, our firm has provided actionable answers to clients’ water, wastewater, and stormwater management issues using integrated water resource planning techniques.
