Multi-Disciplinary Civil and Environmental Engineering and Land Surveying

The continuous recirculatory transport of water from ocean to atmosphere to mountaintops and back to ocean is called the "hydrologic cycle". CFS (Cubic Feet per Second) is a unit of measurement representing flow, such as that of rivers. It is the flow of water that shapes the land, and yet it is the land that bounds the flow of water. One of the simplest and most profound fundamentals of nature, simultaneously yielding and unyielding, gentle and powerful, the flow of water carries the essence of all life. It is also the inspiration for our identity, CFS ENGINEERING.
