Water Resources Management

Fresh water for consumption is a scarce commodity in many parts of the world, and locating new supplies is a major concern. Understanding the hydrological and environmental aspects of the natural water system is essential for successful water resources management.

Remote sensing and airborne electromagnetic survey techniques provide an extremely cost effective and efficient means of mapping surface and groundwater (aquifer) systems.

Integrated with pilot boreholes or exploratory wells, the findings of the airborne survey can be extrapolated to areas beyond the survey. Fugro specializes in large-scale geohydrological field research studies in which hydraulic measurements are carried out using piezometers and pump-tests.

Fugro applies its groundwater and geotechnical expertise to the development of desalination facilities by exploring underground feed water supply sources aiding the design of water intake/outfall structures.

We are fully experienced in marine environmental baseline surveys and habitat mapping. Fugro carries out impact studies of diffuse emissions on water bodies and studies on water-dependent eco-systems and wetlands.

We offer unique combinations of high tech data acquisition technologies and consultancy services with respect to:
