Hydrogeology

Our team of groundwater experts are widely recognised for providing high quality technical expertise on a broad range of groundwater-related projects, to both the private and public sectors.

Our experts are driven by excellence and recognises the importance of integrating technical, legal, regulatory and economic issues to support our clients in making effective decisions during all stages of a project.

Overview

In the Asia Pacific region, SLR has over forty groundwater specialists with experience navigating complex hydrogeological challenges across the region. We have extensive practical experience in all aspects of hydrogeological site characterisation, as well as utilising industry-standard software, and state-of-the art tools and equipment. 

Our team understands the importance of managing groundwater sources sustainably. We are highly experienced in undertaking various scientific studies and investigations to define and understand the groundwater environment to inform on the best strategy and procedures for the problem in hand. 

We’re also recognised for our contributions on numerous professional and technical committees for the development and review of technical guidance documents for groundwater practitioners.
