Engagement of the community and other stakeholders is critical in developing water and flood management strategies that will be successful over the long-term.

WMAwater is a leader in flood studies and floodplain management in Australia.

WMAwater staff are closely involved in the development of Australian standards for flood and dam hydrology, giving our clients assurance that we will provide defensible industry best practice solutions in this area.

Our key strength lies in a combination of strong technical ability and focus on community consultation of risk and outcomes.

A flood forecasting system gives operators advanced warning of flood events, and during an event provides operators with richer, “live” information on observed and forecast rainfalls over a catchment, flows, river levels, inundation, and storage inflows and levels.

WMAwater is experienced in assessing potential impacts of climate change from projected sea level rise and possible changes to extreme and average rainfall intensities.

WMAwater is frequently approached to take a review role for water engineering components of various projects, due to the reputation and experience of our senior staff and the depth of our specialist water team.

WMAwater apply our expertise in hydrology and modelling to assessment of water resources for water supply and irrigation, including evaluation of reliability of supply and optimization of water systems.

We are experienced in these types of projects and our capabilities in environmental hydrology and hydraulics include modelling for wetlands, estuarine and littoral zone, flow allocation and environmental flows.

With the bulk of population growth in Australia occurring in the capital cities and major regional centres, there is continually increasing demand on drainage infrastructure. WMAwater is experienced at overcoming these challenges.

We are Australian leaders in hydrology, hydraulics, data collection, analysis and management.
