Flood Control and Green Infrastructure: The Mission of Civil Engineering Companies



In recent years, Louisiana has had its fair share of hurricanes and floods. The lessons learned from the aftermath of Katrina has paved the way for achievable stormwater management goals that both the public and private sectors can work on. How can flooding be solved, and are there sustainable ways of doing so? Such is decades-long the mission of local agencies in collaboration with engineers and private firms.

The Journal of Contemporary Water Research and Education published a paper on the best management practices for controlling stormwater and preventing floods.

As local authorities turn to civil engineering companies and other private firms, the primary objective is to lessen the movement of debris and sediments from stormwater on the land and to the existing groundwater supply. Read more from this blog: http://bit.ly/2uGTwOj
