Water

We deliver comprehensive water systems services encompassing hydrological modelling, water resource accounting, policy advisory, and risk analysis. Our approach integrates advanced tools and methodologies to support sustainable water management across various sectors.

🔍 Core Capabilities

🌊 Hydrological and Systems Modelling

  • Catchment-to-Basin Scale Modelling: Utilizing platforms like eWater Source™, we simulate water supply systems, including reservoirs, demand centers, and waterways, to inform integrated planning and operations .
  • Surface and Groundwater Interaction: Our models assess interactions between surface water and groundwater, supporting comprehensive water resource management .
  • Scenario Analysis: We conduct simulations under varying climate, land use, and policy scenarios to evaluate potential impacts on water availability and quality.

📘 Water Resource Accounting

  • Compliance with Australian Standards: We prepare water accounts aligned with the Australian Water Accounting Standards (AWAS), ensuring transparency and consistency in reporting .
  • Integration with Economic Accounts: Our approach aligns with the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA) framework, facilitating the integration of water data into broader economic analyses .
  • Operational Water Balances: We develop detailed water balances for operations, aiding in efficient water use and reporting.

🧭 Policy Advisory and Strategic Planning

  • Policy Development Support: We assist in formulating policies related to water allocation, trading, and environmental flows, grounded in robust modelling and analysis.
