Opti's Matt Vajdic to Present at South Carolina Environmental Conference

Water challenges are becoming more complex as cities deal with population growth, climate impacts, and increasing expectations for water quality and environmental protection. What I appreciate about the work happening in our Water practice at Hatch is how it treats municipal systems as part of a broader natural environment, not just isolated infrastructure. Understanding hydrology, anticipating risks like flooding and sedimentation, and designing systems that evolve with communities are all part of building long term resilience. It is thoughtful work that supports both people and ecosystems. Learn more about this approach here: https://ow.ly/Aeam30sUwVl #MunicipalWater #CleanWater #ClimateResilience #WaterInfrastructure

The relaunch of #FEMA’s Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (#BRIC) grants means vital coastal resilience projects can move forward in New York City and across the country. These investments are essential to protecting people, infrastructure, and local economies as extreme weather becomes more frequent and severe. It’s especially exciting to see the path cleared for projects (especially in New York) that cities have spent years planning, from flood protection and stormwater systems to heat and coastal resilience. #Resilience work is about long-term safety, equity, and preparedness, and this funding is critical for turning plans into action. #BeingHNTB #HNTBPlanning See the New York Times coverage: https://lnkd.in/eNCxSSzF

In Netherlands, innovation meets centuries of water expertise. Smart dikes now respond instantly to rising water levels—automatically inflating to create powerful flood barriers without delay. No panic, just real-time protection against nature’s force. ⚙️ By combining advanced technology with deep-rooted water management knowledge, the Netherlands is building a safer and more resilient future. When the sea rises, the defenses rise with it. 🌊✨ Credits: rohit_mandal1 #Netherlands #FloodControl #SmartEngineering #WaterManagement #ClimateInnovation #SustainableTech #FutureInfrastructure #EngineeringMarvel #SmartTechnology #ClimateResilience #InnovationDaily #TechForGood #UrbanInnovation #ModernEngineering #ClimateSolutions

Arizona’s toughest resource challenge deserves smarter solutions. April is Arizona’s Water Awareness Month, a reminder that strategic water management is essential to the state’s resilience and long‑term growth. At #CECinc, we help clients across #Arizona protect water resources, strengthen sustainability, and navigate the unique pressures of the Southwest. Our teams deliver integrated expertise in water and wastewater engineering, stormwater management, groundwater studies, and ecological services to support responsible planning and resilient development. As Arizona faces ongoing drought, rapid growth, and evolving regulations, we remain committed to innovative, science‑driven solutions that safeguard this critical resource. #WaterAwarenessMonth #WaterResources

For 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐖𝐞𝐞𝐤, we’re taking a closer look at how this critical reservoir, and others like lakes and snowpack, each support water supply reliability, operating on different timelines and serving different roles within the same system. As climate variability increases, understanding where water can be stored, when it’s available, and which sources provide long‑term reliability is essential for informed planning and decision‑making.

How do cities keep water safe, reliable, and resilient when climate, population, and environmental pressures are increasing every year? Municipal water systems are being shaped by demographic change, stricter environmental standards, and climate impacts that strain both supply and infrastructure. We help communities adapt by engineering solutions that consider entire ecosystems, protect sensitive environments, and manage risks like flooding and sedimentation. With expertise spanning mechanical, electrical, chemical, microbiological, and digital water technologies, we design systems that evolve with cities and maintain water quality and security for the people who depend on them. Lets build municipal water systems that protect communities and the natural environments around them together. https://lnkd.in/g4TS-R8m #MunicipalWater #WaterInfrastructure #CleanWater
