Connecting water, land, people and the future.

New Zealand has always had a deep connection with land and water. We help farmers, developers and organisations understand and manage that relationship through science, data and practical thinking. Our team combines leading expertise with solutions that work on the ground – today and into the future.

What’s your water challenge?

Whether you’re managing water on a farm, navigating consents, planning infrastructure or modelling a complex system, we can help you understand it and solve it.

Manage water on your farm.

Our on-farm water management services cover irrigation performance, effluent and farm water systems.

Get water consents.

Our consents and compliance team navigates consent applications, renewals and regulatory requirements with you.

Know what's in your groundwater.

Our groundwater management services cover aquifer investigation, water quality assessment and sustainable allocation.

Model how your water system behaves.

Our water modelling and hydrology services simulate catchment, surface water and groundwater systems to inform better decisions.

Assess water for development.

Our development and infrastructure services assess water availability, groundwater impacts and supply options for your project.

Plan water resources.

Our water resource management 
services cover long-term water strategy, sustainable allocation and supply planning.

Commission independent research.

Our independent research service designs and delivers research built around your specific challenge.

Who we work with.

Trusted by farmers, developers and councils across New Zealand.

How we work.

Science, data and practical thinking working together.

Water challenges are rarely simple. They cut across land use, regulation, climate, infrastructure and competing demands. We look at the full system, not just the part in front of us. Our scientists and engineers combine rigorous data and modelling with practical field experience. That combination is what produces solutions that work in the real world, not just on paper.

See the whole system. Water, land, climate, infrastructure and policy are all connected. We build a complete picture before we start looking for answers.
Apply deep science. Our scientists and engineers use robust data, modelling and research to uncover the insights that matter.
Make it work in the real world. We turn complex analysis into practical solutions that perform on the ground and stand the test of time.
