Water Resource Management

Water Resource

We can provide you with efficient and sustainable solutions to the issues that are aimed at optimizing natural flows in rivers and groundwater sources to meet the various competing needs for water. We can offer you solutions driven by insight, innovation and over 20 years experience to meet challenges posed by the ever changing water demand for domestic, agricultural and industrial uses.

Water is critical to global development and population growth is increasing the competition for water between food production, domestic use and industrial consumption. Around the world, we assist governments and agencies in responding to water resource management challenges.

Water resources issues in which we provide technical assistance include local drinking water, large scale catchment management for water supply, irrigation water needs, hydropower schemes, flood and erosion control and protection of aquatic systems for wildlife. We can provide you with efficient and sustainable solutions to these issues that are aimed at optimizing natural flows in rivers and groundwater sources to meet the various competing needs for water.

We achieve this by using an integrated approach in developing solutions, combining our expertise and knowledge in the following areas:

  • Atmospheric, surface and ground water systems.
  • Complex water resource systems modelling.
  • Domestic, industrial, agricultural, ecological and environmental water requirements.
  • River transport processes that store and transform chemicals in the aquatic environment.
  • Biogeochemical processes in catchments and receiving water bodies.
  • GIS, remote sensing, spatial data analysis.
  • Economics of natural resources.
  • Policies, laws and regulations related to water resources.

These solutions include:

  • Structural measures - recommendations for provision and the design of dams, canals, or treatment plants.
  • Non-structural measures - provision of advice on institutional reforms, development of standards, pricing or water permitting and capacity building.
