Water management has become a great concern to water users across all sectors. With increased demand and a decline in available water resources, local agencies have been prioritising efficient water resource management and seeking solutions to reduce demand and optimise supply.
WSP takes a holistic and sustainable approach to management and efficient use of natural resources. We support governments, investors, developers, manufacturers, utilities, and corporations worldwide by identifying and mitigating risks, meeting regulatory requirements, reducing the cost of the resource and creating strategies for sustainable future growth and development.

Preserving Water Assets, Infrastructure and Supply
WSP works with authorities, utilities, and industry to preserve, manage, and improve water assets, infrastructure and supply. Our water quality advisory services include the design of mitigation and restoration solutions, and continuous monitoring programmes.
We also assess the health and status of wetlands and freshwater ecosystems and devise innovative wetland management techniques, as well as designing water infrastructure and treatment plants from renewables to traditional sources.
Innovative Tools to Increase Efficiency
The scarcity and cost of water has made it a critical business issue. WSP has developed innovative end-to-end water footprinting and measurement tools to visually display water profiles, thus highlighting the water-intense areas of a business, particularly when drawing water from regions where it is scarce. Our efficiency programmes focus on areas where it can make the biggest material impact.
Efficiency programmes include rainwater harvesting, improved storm water management, groundwater resource replenishment and holistic water re-use. We assess water use in the design, manufacturing, distribution, and consumption of products and processes. Our green product design experts and online tools help reduce water use across product life cycles. We can also measure and implement efficiencies across entire organisations and their associated supply chains.
