Groundwater provides almost half of drinking water worldwide and is a source of water for both rural and urban communities, manufacturing and industry sectors, and the environment in general. Groundwater development involves identification of suitable aquifers, as well as locating, designing, constructing, monitoring and operating well fields to secure needed water supply in a sustainable manner.

Our teams are experts in developing water resource management systems to minimise impacts to other legal users, groundwater resources and the environment, as required by fundamental regulatory requirements.

Our expert hydrologists and engineers provide comprehensive surface water management in response to the challenges posed by extreme weather and climate change. We offer services ranging from technical assessments and design solutions to policy advisory and legislative guidance. Our capabilities include monitoring water quality and flow, managing stormwater, ensuring reliable surface water supply, implementing erosion control measures, and restoring streams and lakes. Additionally, we handle dredging operations and manage both point and non-point source discharges.

WSP’s team excels in environmental management for desalination, offering design, review, and construction oversight for advanced systems like multistage flash, distillation, and reverse osmosis.
