Water Management Consulting

Integrated Water Resources Management
Stormwater Management

Hydralink has extensive experience in developing stormwater management plans for municipalities. We apply a participatory approach to stormwater management in order to ensure that the vision, goals and objectives are aligned across all stakeholders.

From developing educational programs and policies to designing stormwater LIDs, Hydralink helps clients manage and achieve their stormwater management objectives

Hydralink uses hydraulic water modelling software to design and manage DMAs and PMAs. Using the AWWA design standards for DMA design, we are able to first determine the feasibility of DMA for our clients, and then develop a DMA or PMA implementation plan. Using the digital twin or a hydraulic model, HydraLink helps clients manage the DMAs.

We help clients determine the risk and criticality of their linear infrastructure to aid in asset management planning.

System Dynamics Modelling (SDM)

Hydralink helps clients make sense of complex and nonlinear behaviour and analyze the implications of changes in the system on the future outcomes using System Dynamics Modelling (SDM). This is yet another tools to visualize and conceptualize the complexities of water resource management. We have applied SDM to determine drivers of water availability on a watershed level and believe this is a great tool for program and project management in the water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) sector.

Our Approach is rooted in the IWRM principles

Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) is a holistic approach that is internationally accepted as the way forward for efficient, equitable and sustainable development and management of water resources.

A water/wastewater utility master plan should include the basic elements of IWRM approach in order to become a “living document” and provide a holistic approach to managing water as a resource.
