Water Quality and Water Cycle Management

BMT has a track record in the development of numerical and GIS based tools that support the protection of environmental water quality and the management of the urban water cycle.

Fundamental to our global water resource is water quality and its management, from the source to downstream.

This protection is typically required in all urban water streams and receiving water settings, such as rivers, estuaries and coastline. For example, greenfield urbanisation requires measures to treat stormwater generated in urban areas to effectively manage and minimise potable demand and to effectively manage and mitigate water quality impacts in downstream receiving waters.

BMT has a track record in the development of numerical and GIS based tools that support the protection of environmental water quality and the management of the urban water cycle.

  • We have strong skills in the management of urban and environmental systems, including downstream receiving aquatic environments.
  • We apply state of art numerical models to these types of applications (including holistic total water cycle management studies), many of which we have developed in house or in direct collaboration with university researchers.
  • We have found that doing so provides us with the flexibility and robustness of analysis that is typically required to undertaken such complex studies involving hydrology and water quality management.
