Many people think the purpose of civil engineering is to reshape the earth for human use. A visit to Southern California reinforces this impression, revealing endless views of hillsides graded and terraced with rivers encased in pavement, nature engineered into submission.
Here in Northern California our challenge as civil engineers is to reconcile human use with the inherent and unique characteristics of each site. The key element is water: potable water, groundwater, surface water, stormwater, wastewater, reclaimed water, water as habitat. Engineering for appropriate water management is the central concern of Lescure Engineers’ sustainable approach to land development.
Engineering for sustainability is evolving in response to the desires of clients, individuals, companies and communities, willing and economically able to pursue their development goals by sustainable means. Time and again it has been demonstrated that economic viability need not be sacrificed to achieve environmental sensitivity.
