Water Resources
Singhofen & Associates, Inc. understands that the protection and management of our water resources is more important than ever. Our expertise in this area ranges from watershed management and flood mitigation to natural systems restoration and water supply. Our projects range from small water quality or flooding retrofit projects to large, multi-disciplined water resources projects. We believe that successful projects often require innovative and creative designs and planning which achieve multiple objectives and facilitates permitting, funding opportunities, and public support. Our firm was originally built on the specialized expertise of stormwater modeling. Pete Singhofen, the firm's founder, is the developer of the widely used hydrodynamic surface water model Interconnected Channel and Pond Routing (ICPR®).
