Water Resources
Smart Water Solutions for Resilient Communities
Innovative Strategies to Manage, Protect, and Enhance Your Water Systems.
Water moves through your community every day – our job is to help it flow where it should. SEH works with you to improve water quality, manage drainage, and build flood resilience in a way that fits your environment. Whether it’s stormwater detention, wetland restoration, urban watercourse rehabilitation, or advanced hydraulic systems, our team of water resource specialists, engineers, designers, and sustainability experts collaborate closely with you. Together, we create solutions that work – protecting both your community and the natural environment.
We have a rich, long-standing history of delivering innovative water resource solutions. A notable example is the Duluth Stormwater Management and Resiliency Plan, where we collaborated with the City of Duluth to develop a comprehensive strategy to address stormwater challenges and enhance the City's resilience to future climate events. We’re ready to bring the same expertise and commitment to your community.
