Water resources management involves stewardship of the natural resources that support clean water and watersheds—our aquifers, streams, rivers, lakes, and estuaries—as well as controlling water's flow through urban and suburban neighborhoods and agricultural areas. Ultimately, water resources management is total resource management, addressing all components of the water cycle in an integrated fashion. From CDM's industry-defining water management studies in the 1940s to our leadership in state-of-the-art projects today, we have provided hundreds of clients with innovative and sustainable water resources solutions, safeguarding water supplies, restoring urban environments, and improving quality of life.
