Why
A cwm, pronounced "koom", is a geologic landform; a cirque; or bowl shaped valley just below a mountain peak. The water caught in these high mountain features is the origin of most of the water supply in the Western United States. The letters also stand for Complete Water Management, which is what we do.
Water touches every facet of our lives, our businesses, and our future. CwM provides expert services related to water supply, be it surface water or groundwater rights, water management and conservation planning, or wastewater compliance and permitting. Whether you say "koom" where we like to play or "C-W-M", where we like to work, you are correct.
“We work in environmental consulting because we have an intimate connection with the natural environment. We are passionate about finding a sustainable balance between the natural world and the demands of the human built environment and driven to meet these challenges.”
