Innovative Surface WATER MANAGEMENT Products
together, we will change the world's practice of surface water management
Welcome
There's much to see here. So, take your time and look around. We challenge established surfacewater management methodologies by promoting new & innovative solutions using LID-low impact development and GI- green infrastructure to mitigate flooding and increase public safety. There is a better design.
Surface water Infrastructure Products

Water Management Solutions
Drainage solutions for problematic surface water, runoff reduction strategies, mitigating pollution streams, mitigate flooding, mitigate mosquito habitat, recharge ground water, soil stabilization, applications for existing infrastructure to reduce peak flows, consulting, and designs to bring current innovative technology and green infrastructure benefits to current design inclusion. Innovative technology clearly has many applications and is the new design solution for aging infrastructure, drainage, and conveyance challenges..
Ancient Design Methods
Our current practice of water management has been the same for over 4000 years. This paradigm shift in water management has challenged current designs and offers new possibilities within the engineering community. In current design patterns we, "convey" water or "put it somewhere". Now, we must begin to consider innovative designs to reduce peak flows and the economic benefits to the public works/civil engineering sector, land use, and mitigated environmental impacts.
Emerging Technologies
Emerging technologies for stormwater and the erosion and sedimentation control industry have grown exponentially in the past 10 years, the element of innovation will benefit most designs simply by integrating volume reduction methods using a system approach to reduce peak loading. AOS -Automated Outlet Structure, automated weir has passive and active controls to dewater during peak event to mitigate flooding.
A New Beginning
Augmented permeability allows for water to access previously unreachable areas within the soil matrix for storage. With that concept, infrastructure designs must immediately embrace the birth of innovative BMP industry. Emerging technology and other peak flow reduction strategies will benefit aging infrastructure and reverse the footprint of urban sprawl on undersized gray infrastructure.
Urban Hydrology 2.0
We can predict urban sprawl and the resulting pollution stream based on historical models, Urban Hydrology 2.0 attempts to reverse the effects of urbanization on runoff. This concept has generational benefits for our environment by utilizing better urban stormwater management that promotes resilience while mitigating flooding-mosquitos-TN & TP and other point and non source point pollution streams.
A Water Nation
A shift from the 4000 year old water management designs we commonly use today must begin. The idea of reducing peak flows by volume reduction methods using innovative products LID/GI is a concept in its infancy. Our water crisis is real- 80% of the World is under a water security threat. Negative impacts to natural resources will continue as the consequences of current design are predictable. A shift begins today. New concepts and strategies to reduce stormwater with emerging technologies is a solution to many water problems found in the civil and public works industries.
Water is life.
The consequences of runoff to surface water has a destiny- eutrophication. Some communities are adopting Land Development Ordinances and Codes requiring, "zero runoff' and other designs for better water management. Recognizing the benefits of mitigating urban impacts, these efforts will champion other designs with improved pollution reductions, groundwater recharge, mitigated flooding, health, long term environment benefits and public safety. We should all manage our, "share" of water. It's time for a change.
