Water is one of Mott MacDonald’s core sectors, and our skills extend globally in all aspects of the water cycle. We provide sustainable environmental solutions world-wide for water resources management, water supply and wastewater.

We work for regulatory bodies, water companies and national governments, and endeavour to involve stakeholders at all levels in the execution of our water work. Our capabilities are broad and include management of water resources and their associated environments, flood risk management, and hydraulic engineering projects.

New legislation concerning water issues, such as the EU Water Framework Directive, call for integrated water resources management (IWRM), an area we excel in. IWRM encompasses river basin management and the provision of sustainable solutions for governments and private water companies to manage their resource in times of ever increasing demand. We understand the sensitive interaction between water source and supply, and the relationship to morphology and ecology of river systems enabling managers to make appropriate decisions to minimise the economic, social and environmental consequences of their actions.
