We boat and swim and fish. We drink it, bathe in it. It irrigates our crops and economic development depends on it. Malcolm Pirnie takes a holistic approach to watershed management that begins with good science and a balanced approach to controlling both point and non-point sources of water pollution such as urban and agricultural runoff as well as traditional regulated dischargers.
Wetlands too play a critical role in our watersheds.
Protected and regulated by federal and state agencies, they maintain water quality, provide flood protection and erosion control, and serve as habitat for fish and wildlife and recreation.
