Flood Protection and Wet Weather Solutions for Resilient Facilities

Communities are facing increasing pressure from extreme weather, intensified rainfall, flooding and changing environmental conditions. As these challenges place greater strain on drainage systems, floodplains and aging infrastructure, water resources solutions have become essential to protecting public safety, critical facilities and long‑term community resilience.

STV delivers practical, forward‑thinking water resources strategies – from flood protection and wet‑weather management to green infrastructure and watershed improvements. Our work is rooted in real‑world performance, balancing environmental stewardship with constructible, reliable solutions that reduce risk and support communities before, during and after extreme events.

Water Resources Capabilities

STV helps clients plan and deliver water resources solutions that address wet‑weather challenges, drainage constraints and flood risk – while aligning with broader One Water investments across water, wastewater and resource recovery systems.

Our capabilities include:

• Stormwater management and wet‑weather solutions to improve system performance during high‑intensity rainfall events.
• Floodplain management, hydraulic and hydrologic modeling, and mapping to inform risk‑based planning and regulatory compliance.
• Flood protection strategies, including engineered and nature‑based solutions to safeguard communities and critical infrastructure.
• Green infrastructure that enhances water quality, manages runoff and delivers environmental and community benefits.
• Drainage and watershed improvements that address system bottlenecks, downstream impacts and long‑term resilience.
• Resilience planning focused on reducing vulnerability and strengthening infrastructure performance under changing climate conditions.

What Sets STV Apart

• Resilience‑First Water Resources Delivery: STV’s One Water framework positions water resources around wet‑weather performance, flood protection and watershed management – supporting resilience outcomes that extend beyond individual assets to entire systems and communities.
• Technical Rigor for Complex, High‑Risk Environments: Our teams bring deep expertise in site‑specific modeling, analysis and design for flood‑prone and environmentally sensitive settings. STV delivers engineered protective measures that account for uncertainty, regulatory requirements and long‑term system performance.
• Practical Solutions That Protect Critical Infrastructure: STV designs water resources improvements that safeguard transportation networks, utility facilities and community assets – helping clients reduce risk while maintaining operability and constructability.
• Integrated Delivery Aligned with Broader Infrastructure Investments: We collaborate across water, wastewater and recovery disciplines to ensure water resources solutions complement capital programs, funding strategies and long‑range planning efforts.
