Farmers and Growers.

Reliable water solutions backed by science, that work on your farm.

Farming is a constant balance of productivity, compliance and long-term land stewardship. We’ve worked with farmers for decades and know how to build strong, data-driven, workable water solutions that bring everything into balance. Solutions that work on the farm (not just on paper) – and keep on working well into the future.

We work closely with farm owners, managers and advisors to navigate consenting, testing, modelling and design. We make the complex clear, with research-led insights and hands-on, practical outcomes that protect farm performance while guarding environmental integrity. Balance is possible and we’ll help make it happen.

How we work with farmers.

 

Clear-cut consenting.

We use 20+ years of technical excellence and practical know-how to solve complex regulatory hurdles, secure long term water certainty and meet environmental requirements – all without compromising your farm’s performance or profitability.

Smart solutions that work on your farm.

Our scientists and engineers combine deep research with practical innovation, creating water infrastructure, systems, designs, and interventions that meet all the requirements of a working farm.

Balancing productivity.

Our whole world approach to integrated water solutions means we build a robust balance to meet environmental requirements while protecting farm performance or profitability.

Partnering with you.

We’re independent professionals who work alongside your own managers and consultants to provide the connected water intelligence needed to solve specific, complex problems.

Future-proofing your farm.

We start with the future and apply it to the present, designing now for changing regulations, climate pressures and sustainability expectations. You can plan with confidence, knowing your land will remain productive for future generations.

Data-driven decisions.

We apply real-world data and analytical science for smart, unbiased advice on water testing, evaluation and modelling, giving you actionable insights to drive better farm performance.

Every water challenge starts with a conversation.

Tell us what you’re working on and we’ll connect you with the right person.

Solutions for farmers.

In the main, there are three key areas where farmers value our specialist skills and practical know-how: getting more out of irrigation systems, managing effluent to compliant standards and navigating the consent process for water takes and discharges. Our experts cover all these areas (plus others), ensuring balanced solutions with workable, on-farm application.

On-Farm Water Management

On-Farm Water Management.

Irrigation, effluent, soil moisture monitoring and small drinking water supply. We work with farmers and rural property owners to get farm water performing, not just compliant, but right.

Resource Consents & Compliance

Resource Consents & Compliance.

Our on-farm water management services cover irrigation performance, effluent and farm water systems.

Groundwater Management

Groundwater Management.

From aquifer testing and monitoring to complex numerical modelling. We build the complete picture of what's happening below the surface and what it means for users, regulators and the environment.

Water Modelling & Hydrology

Water Modelling & Hydrology.

Hydrological assessments, catchment modelling, flood and drought analysis. The science that underpins good water management decisions at every scale – from a single farm crossing to a regional catchment.

“After a recent purchase of an extra block of land we needed to go through an audit process with our Irrigation Scheme in order to allow a change of land use. To achieve this we needed to secure an A+ audit result. We achieved this, due in large part to the fact we had Aqualinc soil moisture measurement systems in place and could prove that we were using these to optimise our irrigation management and ensure no irrigation-related drainage events.”
