Natural Resource Management

Sinclair Knight Merz is at the forefront of developing and adapting skills and technologies in Natural Resource Management and  has been providing world-leading services for more than 30 years.  Sinclair Knight Merz is helping to equip business, government and the community to better manage natural resources.

The traditional approach to development, and the demands of modern society, has placed enormous stress on our natural resources and the environment. Today, we recognise the need for careful resource management, restoration of natural ecosystems, and the maintenance of productive uses as they underpin our economy and quality of life. Natural resource managers are required to balance the variety of economic, social and environmental demands on the land, rivers, forests, minerals, the coast and oceans.

The range of services are:

  • Groundwater Management (Hydrology)
  • Flooding and Floodplains     
  • Irrigation and Drainage     
  • Water Use Efficiency     
  • Forestry
  • Freshwater Ecology
