Tim Buscha, P.E., CFM

Tim’s background as an agricultural engineer shapes his approach to harnessing natural resources to fulfill human requirements while preserving the environment. His 12-year tenure with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service, managing riverbank stabilization and earthen dam projects, helps him understand the mindset and daily pressures of agency personnel.

Whether planning drainage for a master-planned community to maximize development potential, appealing FEMA watershed designations, or analyzing the long-term impact of planned regional detention, Tim takes a wide-angle view of each project’s interrelationship with the regional system. He applies his 31 years of experience and creativity to all projects, whether solving the emergency replacement of a failed bridge or overseeing the multi-phased reconstruction of an urban outfall channel.

Tim is active in the Texas Floodplain Managers Association and serves as chair of the Flood Control and Drainage Committee for the West Houston Association. In addition, he has held various leadership roles for the Houston Chapter of the American Council of Engineering Companies, having chaired the Stormwater Committee. Tim also serves as the Chairman of the Region 6 San Jacinto River Regional Flood Planning Group, which the Texas Water Development Board created in 2020. Region 6 is one of the 15 planning groups that has been put in charge of creating the state’s first statewide flood plan.
