Promoting sustainable catchment management
Against the backdrop of climate change adaptation, managing catchments holistically through the integrated consideration of surface and subsurface waters within land use planning, environmental management and agriculture policy is critical - with nature-based solutions playing a central role.
We continue to be committed to working with our clients to protect our communities' homes, schools and livelihoods.
Our courses adopt a scientific approach to these topics, at the same time drawing on practical hands-on experience illustrated using case study examples.
