Our water resource management and hydrological experience
Nature-based solutions (NbS) harness natural processes such as wetland restoration and sustainable land management to enhance resilience, biodiversity, and water quality while addressing climate challenges. Successful implementation requires a detailed understanding of site-specific and subsurface conditions to ensure long-term effectiveness. Our team of consultants are experienced in delivering the following project types:
- Soils and peatland management – specialists in soil science & farming, peat surveys, habitat restoration, hydrology, and hydrogeology to deliver practical, science-led solutions.
- Groundwater monitoring & analysis – dip wells & piezometers, data loggers, water level and quality measurements, and hydrogeological assessments to understand groundwater availability, recharge, and sustainability.
- Water resource management – advising on sustainable groundwater use, aquifer recharge, and catchment-scale water management strategies.
- Flood risk & Hydrological Impact Assessments (HIA) – analysing surface and subsurface hydrology to inform land-use planning and mitigate flood risks.
- Contaminant transport & water quality studies – assessing pollutant pathways in groundwater systems and evaluating remediation options.
- Sustainable drainage & hydrological assessment – providing data-driven insights into water movement, infiltration, and storage to support environmental planning.
By engaging with stakeholders and regulatory bodies, we help shape innovative, science-led solutions that balance development needs with environmental sustainability.
