Surface Water Capability Statement
Surface Water Capability Statement
Western Australia’s leading independent team with a proven track record in surface water/ hydrology, groundwater/ hydrogeology, auditing, contaminated land management and development projects. We combine reliable expertise with regulatory knowledge, delivering high quality output and performance on time and budget. We welcome technically challenging projects from commercial & government clients
Surface Water/ Hydrology:
• Crop water/ irrigation requirements
• Drainage systems
• Groundwater/ surface water interactions
• Infiltration/ recharge estimates
• Mine site water management
• Monitoring program design & implementation
• Nutrient & Irrigation Management Plans (NIMPs):
o Land-use (Runoff/ infiltration factors, Soil properties/ Landforms)
o Water resources (surface/ groundwater)
o Land Management
o Nutrient application
o Drainage controls
o Protection of surface water/ groundwater
o Site monitoring & reporting
o Contingency planning
• Open pit/ water/ dam evaporative loss
• Rainfall/runoff & Infiltration factors
• Salinity studies
• Surface water/runoff quality
• Urban Water Management Plans (UWMPs):
o Small/priority catchments/ large scale
o Planning approval/ design/ objectives
o Site characteristics (Land use/ soil type/ properties/ Surface water flow/ Groundwater flow/ levels/ Contamination/ Acid Sulfate Soils/ Water Sustainability (Water balance/ Conservation (alternative water sources/ xeriscaping/ AAMGL/ Water use efficiency
o Stormwater/ Surface Water Management (Surface water (numerical) modelling/ Flood protection (1in100 year ARI) level/ Frequent Rainfall Events (1in5 (to 1in1) year ARI rainfall)/ Retention mechanisms
o Groundwater: (Groundwater (numerical) modelling/ AAMGLs/ Wetlands/ Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems (GDEs)/ Controlled gw level/drainage/ Bioretention/ riparian controls)
