Our research and experience enable us to combine the demands of flood-risk reduction with ecosystem enhancement and other considerations such as agriculture and urban development. Balancing these demands is critical to the future sustainability of our water-dependent ecosystems. Our projects regularly involve working with biologists and ecologists to study, protect, improve and manage water-dependent ecosystems.
D., founder and president of cbec, has specialized in eco engineering for more than 15 years in the United States and overseas. Dr. Bowles has practiced in California for 11 years, including 8 years in the Sacramento Region. Our billing rates are extremely competitive and we offer enhanced technical proficiency and client service. Dr. Chris Bowles, cbec's president, is intimately involved with each project undertaken at cbec.
Conceptual guidance and quality assurance / quality control are of chief concern.

Services
Our core values are cbec's enduring principles that we adhere to at both the individual and company level.
We seek to truly understand the environments in which we work and to develop solutions for clients that advance the state of science and engineering in our industry and improve the health of ecosystems.
At cbec, we continuously pursue excellence in our performance and a caliber of work that surpasses industry standards.
We are passionate about conducting innovative, scientifically-rigorous, and results-driven projects.

At cbec, our staff has years of experience applying a variety of established hydrologic techniques and pioneering new methodologies.
Hydrology is the study of water and hydrologic investigations provide fundamental information for all water resources projects.
We are familiar with a variety of publicly available climate, stream, and tidal data sources.
Where necessary, we also deploy and monitor meteorological stations to obtain site-specific hydrologic data such as air temperature, wind speed/direction, and precipitation.

From complex, 3-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses to simple spreadsheet models, the majority of our projects require a level of hydraulic understanding.
Whether we are analyzing floodplain inundation, scour at bridges, levee breaches, or particle mobility for everything from spawning gravels to bank protection, cbec has the right tool and staff member for the job.
We are leaders in the field of ecohydraulics and use our expertise in fish passage, habitat suitability prediction and computational fluid dynamics to inform the design of our environmental restoration and enhancement projects.

We conduct field reconnaissance (including Rapid Assessment Methods and "Fluvial Audits"), geomorphic interpretation and assessment, channel migration analysis, habitat restoration, and GPS mapping of geomorphic features.
A thorough understanding of the physical processes involved in tidal and fluvial environments is essential to the design of our projects.
This methodology operates under two central theoretical concepts concerning factors that control the distribution of geomorphic process regimes in a river network.

Our restoration design philosophy is to apply the best available science and technology to our work, and to stand by our work through project completion:.
We approach restoration from a "process-based" standpoint, in which ecosystem processes are regarded as the fundamental drivers that influence the design concept.
We utilize numerical simulations of water and sediment flows, from 1D to 3D CFM applications, according to the complexity required by the proposed design.
We collaborate with scientists and ecologists to optimize habitat suitability for species of concern.
