District Engineering Services provides engineering assistance to all 47 Soil and Water Conservation Districts. Assistance includes agricultural BMP design services, Engineering Job Approval Authority for qualified district employees, and engineering assistance for District-owned flood control dams and State Park dams.
This page includes resources for District employees such as design references, worksheets, agricultural and dam-related training presentations, and information related to Engineering Job Approval Authority. The goal of the engineering services program is to partner with Districts to provide effective water quality measures for the agricultural community and assist in the safe operation and maintenance of District and State Park dams.
