Expertise
Water resources & forestry
Wells and irrigation, water studies and forest management: we help farmers and project owners prepare projects in which water and natural areas are managed for the long term.
Challenges
Water comes first
Water availability determines whether many agricultural projects are viable. The choice of water source, irrigation method and equipment sizing drives both costs and yields. We help project owners make these choices on a sound technical and economic basis.
In forest areas, the same discipline applies to stand management, fire prevention and the planning of works. Careful preparation reduces risks, delays and cost overruns.
