Expertise
We are experts in how water moves, behaves and influences communities and industries.
We create smart, resilient solutions for the natural and built environments to help the world understand the changing influence and impact of water.
Our work supports infrastructure developers and operators, research bodies, governing authorities and decision makers at all levels with the innovative solutions they need, built on our experience, data insights and research.
We help our clients to understand the impacts of natural and human induced change on the freshwater environment. We’ll interpret the consequences of these impacts to provide solutions, tools and advice, tailored to deliver sustainable, resilient solutions.
We use our expertise in surface water management, urban drainage and sustainable drainage systems to manage runoff, mitigate flood risk and deliver environmental and social benefits.
Catchments are complex natural environments; catchment processes can’t be looked at or managed in isolation. With expertise in every aspect of environmental risk management, we see the big picture. Our expert advice adds value and helps our clients to make strategic, climate-resilient decisions at the catchment-scale.
Water is a critical resource. A secure, safe water supply is fundamental to the well-being and growth of communities, economies and ecosystems. At HR Wallingford, we deliver smart solutions to the complex water resources challenges faced by our clients and partners.
It has been estimated that annual investments need to increase threefold, to well over $100 billion pa. to meet the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. We help our clients to prepare climate informed policies, strategies, plans and projects for the water sector and to translate these into financing proposals for effective implementation.
Investment in infrastructure may be jeopardised by climate risks, both acute hazards as well as longer term changes in climate. We specialise in assessing these risks and identify opportunities to improve resilience in a changing world.
Our specialist expertise helps our clients to understand the potential impacts of climate change. We’re at the forefront of climate risk and vulnerability assessment in the UK and internationally.
