Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM)

Integrated management and sustainable reuse of water resources

Integrated water resource management (IWRM)” is a process which promotes the coordinated development and management of water, land and related resources, in order to maximize the resulting economic and social welfare in an equitable manner without compromising the sustainability of vital ecosystems” (GWP, 2000).

Water- IWRM - Climate change impact assesments

Water- IWRM - Ground and Surface Water assesments

Assistance for every process

With our cross-cutting expertise in the field of water we can help you to improve the management of your water resources by:

Describing and quantifying groundwater and surface water resources
Analyzing assessments of aquatic environments
Shared analytical assessment on pressure-impacts-solutions
Modeling hydrosystems combined with their uses (quality and quantity).
Defining scenarios (climate and socio-economic) and trend strategies
Proposing action plans and scheduling
Organizing consultation workshops

We provide assistance for every process, leading to balanced and shared water resource management.

Baseline assessment - shared resources and uses assessment

Sampling, water quality, pressure, hydrological and hydrobiological analysis and measurements
Hydrological and hydrogeological assessments, analysis and evaluation of watershed groundwater and surface water resources
Assessment and studies on water quality and geochemistry (analysis of emission sources, transport, degradation, sedimentation, events )
Modeling of requirements - impacts and water resource allocation (abstraction volumes, irrigation, drinking water supply, hydroelectricity, recreational uses, etc.).

Integrated management and sustainable reuse of water resources

Strategic planning and support to institutions

Scenario showing trends that incorporates changes in driving factors (climate, population, socio-economic) and initiatives undertaken locally
Consultation, co-construction and local management of strategic stakes and local objectives
Drafting of program and scheduling documents, establishment of water management and development plans
Assistance in implementing water governance
Skills transfer

Our R&D

Our approach to integrated resource management is also based on the stakes in terms of water savings and water management in its broadest sense of technical and methodological solutions. Our R&D focuses on:

Wastewater reuse for industrial, agricultural, recreational or drinking water supply purposes.
what becomes of micropollutants in water
Stormwater management and related ecosystemic services
The development of real-time water resource management tools.
Water resource management in salt build-up contexts and unsaturated environments.
