Water Resources

Our team is proficient in developing, enhancing, calibrating, and deploying a wide range of hydraulic, hydrologic, and hydrodynamic models for comprehensive surface water and groundwater studies.

Key skills include:

  • Integrated watershed modeling: Constructing robust drainage infrastructure databases and simulating hydrologic processes to map floodplains and assess flood risks.
  • Stormwater management: Updating and calibrating surface water models using the latest data, ensuring accurate representation of current conditions for effective stormwater management.
  • Compound flooding analysis: Integrating inland and coastal models to evaluate the dynamics of compound flooding, linking storm surge, rainfall-runoff, and tidal interactions.
  • Climate impact assessments: Evaluating future flood risks by incorporating projected sea level rise and changing rainfall patterns into hydrodynamic models.
  • Hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) studies: Conducting basin-wide hydrologic and hydraulic analyses using advanced tools like HEC-RAS, HEC-HMS, ICPR, SWMM and MIKE SHE.
  • Flood hazard mapping and FEMA compliance: Producing flood hazard mapping in support of FEMA products such as Letters of Map Amendment (LOMA), Conditional Letters of Map Revision (CLOMR), and Letters of Map Revision (LOMR).
  • Airport stormwater management: Delivering comprehensive design, modeling, permitting, and construction services for aviation facilities, ranging from simple airfield treatment systems to full-scale stormwater master plans.
  • Stakeholder communication: Effectively presenting complex model results and flood mitigation strategies to stakeholders through various communication platforms.
Taylor Engineering’s Water Resources Group excels in engineering with a focus on advanced hydrologic and hydraulic (H&H) analysis and modeling. Our extensive project portfolio includes hydrology, hydraulics, floodplain management, groundwater, and integrated water system modeling.

We take a holistic approach to deliver superior results across the entire hydrologic cycle, ensuring maximizing benefits while minimizing costs and environmental impacts.
