Our expertise covers a wide range of hydrological activities. The following are some of the areas of specialist experience.
Arid zone hydrogeology			In many arid countries groundwater is the major resource
Arid zone hydrology			Even arid countries can make use of surface water with dams and also have flooding risks.
Artificial Influences			For the analysis of complex water resources systems estimating artificial influences (abstractions/discharges) can be a major task.
Climate change			That climate will change over the coming decades is widely accepted and brings with it a need to factor-in these changes in resource evaluation.
Flood forecasting			The damage due to  flooding can be reduced by timely and accurate forecasts.
Flooding			This is a guide for non-technical professionals such as lawyers and insurers.
Flood risk assessment			A summary of the expertise of the WRA in producing flood risks reports.
Hydrological data processing			Water resources studies require access to readily accessed quality controlled hydrological data.
Hydrological modelling			Hydrological models are useful for extending flow and recharge data sets when long-term meteorological data are available.
Lakes			Lakes can be sensitive indicators of quality or climatic changes and require prudent management.
Reservoir operation			The reliable yield of complex water resource systems can be increased by efficient use of reservoirs.
Water and Environment			Water is an important component of the environment and is a major element in environmental assessment.
Water framework directive			The introduction of the Water Framework Directive in the European Union has led to changes in water management.
Water resource assessment			The assessment of complex water resource systems required an in-depth understanding of the technical issues and access to appropriate modelling tools.
Wetlands			In the past often disregarded wetlands are now seen as having crucial role in the water environment.
