We've evolved our own ‘Design with water' methodology, drawn on our experiences designing, implementing, and maintaining water infrastructure around the world. ‘Design with water' places an understanding of the local water cycle at the centre of responses to wider local issues like economic development, food and agriculture, community, and energy use.

We use consultancy, engineering, and research to bring the most insightful approaches to energy, water and resource projects wherever they are in the world.
