It is a pleasure to know Michael Ports. As an environmental scientist, it was a delight to work with such a knowledgeable engineer. I worked with Michael on an expert witness case for USDOJ and Rock Island District of US Army Corps of Engineers and an expert witness case for USDOJ and Omaha District of US Army Corps of Engineers. Michael performed in an exemplary professional manner and exceeded all of the clients expectations. One of the Senior Engineers with the Rock Island District was so pleased with Michael’s expert testimony in the US Federal Court of Claims, that he began crying with pleasure and gratitude that his life’s work was being totally vindicated.”

I’ve known and worked in the water resources profession with Michael for more than 30 years. He is innovative, multidisciplinary and a very reliable water resources engineer. As a team technical advisor, he has made invaluable contributions to the U.S. EPA Office of Research & Development’s “National Demonstration Project in Kansas City, MO for the Integration of Green & Gray Infrastructure for CSO Control”. He was outstanding as President and cofounder of both the EWRI and American Academy of Water Resources Engineers. Michael has recently co-authored an EWRI/ASCE water resources publication with me. He is well-liked and schedule conscious.”
