A Historical Perspective on American Water and Environmental Engineering Achievements: National Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks

The historic achievements of American civil engineers in developing, managing and protecting the nation's water and related land and air resources are celebrated in this description of water resources and environmental projects that have been designated as National Historic Civil Engineering Landmarks (NHCELs) (and International HCELs) by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). Individually these projects represent some of the greatest technical accomplishments of individual civil engineers and the agencies and companies that employ them. Collectively they demonstrate the American civil engineering profession's long-standing commitment to beneficial and sustainable management of the nation's water and related land and air resources.
