Water

The world needs water. It’s essential for health, society, and prosperity. It’s part of life itself. But increasing regulations and the acceleration of climate change are putting pressure on water utilities and industrial water users. We need to change our relationship with water to protect supply for the future.
world with water and forest

Growing drought conditions make it more important than ever to secure a safe, sustainable water supply – improving circularity and reusing water wherever possible. We can help – for example – by optimising treated water for farming and industrial use.

Crucially, we also reduce water treatment’s own contribution to climate change – reducing direct and indirect emissions of greenhouse gases like CO2 and N2O and turning wastewater into a renewable energy source.

We're focused on making water use sustainable. Whether improving drinking water quality and supply, reducing water usage and carbon footprint, or embracing energy transition and identifying operating efficiencies, we help clients make better use of their current resources, while ensuring today’s decisions don’t have negative consequences in the future..

Your climate resilience journey

Even if you cut carbon emissions to zero today, the climate will continue to change for at least a century. So while achieving net-zero is vital, adapting to climate change is equally important.

Whether you need to engage stakeholders, quantify your risk profile, or design and implement a climate resilient solution, we are here to help you in your climate journey.
