In the past 20 years, environmental planning and management at local, state, and national levels of government has shifted towards the recognition that wastewater in a treated form presents a valuable resource – not a costly waste. In particular, effluent or ‘reclaimed water’ re-use schemes provide a means of beneficially re-using wastewater for a range of commercial uses.
Our key service sectors for recycled water are:
- Agricultural re-use such as vineyards, turf farms and pasture
- Golf course irrigation
- Groundwater injection
- Industrial re-use opportunities
- Landfill irrigation and injection
- Non-potable residential re-use (i.e. third pipe solutions)
- Stream flow rehabilitation
Our key technical services include:
- Land capability assessment for re-use schemes
- Approvals and licensing
- Financial modelling
- Water balance modelling
- Nutrient and contaminant accumulation, transport & impact modelling
- Irrigation scheme design, construction and management
- Reclaimed water storage facilities
- Crop selection and crop management
- Salinity modelling, monitoring and control
