Australia experiences some of the most variable climate conditions on earth. The availability of water can vary greatly from year to year, impacting urban and rural supply, cultural use and the environment. Water availability and demand is also increasingly impacted by the greater extremes experienced under climate change. Water resource planning has also become progressively more complex over recent years due to demand growth, demographic and irrigated culture change combined with greater use of alternate water sources such as recycled water, groundwater and desalinated supplies.
In this environment, water resource planning and management decisions must be supported by trusted advice, arising from robust and defensible hydrology and water resource modelling.
HARC has a long history of providing water resource management advice tailored to our clients’ needs. Our water resources team has extensive experience in hydrological analysis and catchment modelling, short- and long-term water resource planning and drought response, forecasting and environmental flow analysis under current and future climate and demand conditions.
We have established ourselves as a trusted partner to those who manage Australia’s catchments and water resources, and utilise the latest information and techniques in hydrology, modelling and climate science to provide the best outcomes for our clients.
