Urban Water Engineering and Management
Accelerating Urban Water Resilience in the Face of 21st Century Climate and Environmental Change
Urban settlements are subject to a continuum of pressing water management challenges driven by demographic, economic, political, environmental, cultural, and social factors. Water management in cities is often based on centralised “top down” water supply, stormwater drainage, and wastewater disposal. In contrast, water is demanded, stormwater and wastewater are generated, and hydrology is altered by behaviours at distributed “bottom up” or decentralised scale. Rising temperatures and changing precipitation patterns have further increased the complexity of water management in cities.
In past decades, urban water management practices focused on optimizing the design and operation of water distribution networks, wastewater collection systems, and water and wastewater treatment plants. However, municipalities are now faced with aging urban water infrastructures whose operation must be improved and expanded to maintain current high standards of living as well as new challenges such as climate change, systems sustainability, and water quality issues. Integrating the latest developments in urban water hydrology and management, CLIMALOGIK takes a system approach to urban water hydrology, engineering, planning and management, supplying project examples and case studies and highlighting pressing issues such as urban water governance, disaster management, and climate change impacts on urban areas.
CLIMALOGIK’s unique urban water resources management services delivers a variety of services for our public and private sector clients with a focus on sustainable urban water systems. We provide essential information for a broad range of water resource related projects, including hydrologic and hydraulic modeling of complex urban drainage systems using state of the art software such as MIKE URBAN, InfoWorks ICM, XP-SWMM, PCSWMM, InfoSWMM, and InfoSewer, modelling of water distribution systems using WaterCAD and InfoWater; planning, analysis and design of urban hydraulic systems; design of piped systems; design of low-impact development water management structures, basins and control structures, storm water management systems, extreme precipitation event analyses, climate change impacts on hydrology, water supply analyses, and flood mapping. We are scientists, engineers, technologists, planners, landscape architects, and their support teams that work together to deliver urban water infrastructure, minimizing environmental impact and maximizing benefit to the community.
