The challenge Water resources management is no longer a one-off activity to find a water source and to maintain its supply. The industrial water-cycle now allows a host of opportunities to be explored and requires more advanced catchment management techniques, innovative water treatment and recycling methods, footprint reduction initiatives and efficiency.

Finding an optimum water supply that meets current requirements, and is sustainable over the long-term, requires a detailed understanding of hydrology and catchment processes, as well as an understanding of the constraints and opportunities for water re-use and recycling alternatives.

Customers must make accurate, reliable and informed water resources decisions that will apply for decades to come.

Today’s and Tomorrow’s Challenges Identifying and selecting a water source

Understanding the economic value of water

Managing stakeholder concerns Regulatory uncertainty

Water security Competing demands for water

Water efficiency – measurements, metrics and reporting

Our service response Complete water-cycle solutions WorleyParsons provides customers with water resources solutions that cover the full water-cycle.

Our world-class technical specialists in hydrogeology, hydrology and water resources management are supported by our strategic planning and assessment capabilities, helping customers evaluate the impact of different water strategies on critical decisions early in the project lifecycle. This ensures the technical, financial and economic viability of a project; lowering our customers’ business risk and cost.

Integrated water resource management Water resource management is often associated with interdependent environmental, social, economic and technology contexts.

Our core team of water resource specialists works closely with our design, construction, delivery and asset protection engineers, providing customers with an integrated offering and an unmatched depth of experience. Services range from initial technical appraisals and asset condition assessments, through to the design and project management of groundwater and surface water investigations. Our comprehensive advice on water efficiency, increased rate-of-return and water treatment and system selection allows customers to make the right decisions, and ensures that the best concept and design outcomes are developed.

Water valuation and sustainability By applying our two decades of experience in water economics and valuation, coupled with our sustainability tools, we’re able to ensure the sustainable management of our customers’ water needs and position them for long-term resilience of operations and future assets.

Our EcoNomics™ Assessment process models and validates options with regard to sustainability and financial drivers, providing customers with an understanding of the total economic value of water. This helps them to make robust tradeoff decisions and investment strategies. We also provide expert services that consider energy intensity and carbon emissions, in terms of water system selection, to give our customers a clear appraisal of all available options.

waterRIDE™ waterRIDE™ FLOOD Manager is a full-featured proprietary floodplain management system developed by WorleyParsons.

It is designed to enhance customers’ understanding and communication of hydraulic modeling, as well as facilitate advanced decision-making by providing derived flood intelligence through the seamless integration of modeling results with Geographic Information System (GIS) datasets.

It can be used by customers for surface water management to increase operational efficiencies and can be an effective communication tool. waterRIDE™ is publically available software.

Cumulative effects management WorleyParsons has developed and implemented numerical modeling tools and management frameworks that help customers manage potential cumulative environmental effects.

By putting a clear strategy in place, customers are able to mitigate community concerns and regulatory uncertainty surrounding water resources for their large-scale developments.

While models vary for geographic regions, the methodology for developing these tools remains consistent and can be applied world-wide. The lessons learned from our experiences in Canada have been applied to projects around the world in order to help our customers manage the cumulative environmental effects and to support regulatory approvals.

Water Resources Consulting for the resource sector By working closely with some of our leading resource and energy customers, we have established ways of de-risking their existing operations and new ventures.

This has been in response to current and emerging businesscritical water resource uncertainties around water stress, competition, license to operate, and importantly, costs.

We provide customers with a unique insight to integrated water resources solutions by combining the specialization of a worldclass water consultancy with WorleyParsons’ strong project delivery capabilities.

Khazzan Tight Gas Development CUSTOMER: BP LOCATION: OMAN WorleyParsons Water Resources consultants have worked with BP on one of the largest standalone unconventional gas projects in the world. The facility, located in a remote, hyper-arid location, has virtually no existing infrastructure. BP required a long-term water resources strategy that would meet their needs throughout the development’s lifecycle.

Our Services Working collaboratively with BP, our consultants selected the best water source option, tested, modeled and designed a full abstraction system, including a water re-use and recycling unit, and developed the water treatment plan. WorleyParsons continued to support BP with license applications, stakeholder discussions, borefield designs and modeling for different water management scenarios.

Key Achievements • The project was executed as a combined water engineering and resource team to achieve demanding, innovative and holistic water solutions across BP’s business lines • Fast-tracked the water resources appraisal and selection process, keeping the project on time and on schedule • WorleyParsons selected water systems that represented the optimum for efficiency, reliability, sustainability, cost and engineering factors required by BP • The demonstration of a full economic and hydrological rationale for alternative water sources (e.g. brackish water)
