Water Engineering Services

Water Engineering

Ensuring healthy water systems can reach people, habitats and communities.
Less than 4% of all water on earth is fresh water, and less than 0.01% of water is potable. Ensuring our water systems can reach people and communities without detrimentally affecting our environment is especially important in the face of ongoing climate risks.

At Morphum, we blend engineering excellence with scientific expertise to address the intricate water challenges faced by the environment, communities and industries in Australia. We value communicating with and supporting local communities and traditional owner groups, and we actively engage with these stakeholders to promote positive project outcomes.

Water Engineering Services

Our comprehensive water engineering services are tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients and local environments.

We develop solutions that include hydrological and hydraulic modelling, data analysis, environmental design, civil design and site supervision to deliver projects that are both environmentally sustainable and technically sound.

Asset Management

We provide support to stormwater assets at all stages of an asset’s lifecycle.

It is essential to understand the condition of your stormwater assets as well as the design and regulatory requirements. Morphum can help you strengthen your understanding of your assets, find sustainable solutions and provide the best-quality service in line with all regulatory conditions.

We use data collection and a GIS-based asset management system to conduct risk-based prioritisation, enabling recommendations to be made and reports to be produced for compliance and informed decision-making.

Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD)

Integrating water management, ecosystem function and urban design means that Morphum’s expert team can design regenerative and liveable urban environments.

Our WSUD services focus on understanding any site within the context of its natural water cycle, ecological values and connected receiving environments to inform designs which effectively and intentionally mitigate water quality and quantity impacts and connects communities with water.

We incorporate green infrastructure, such as wetlands, raingardens and permeable pavements, into urban developments to support ecological health and leave a positive legacy on our environment and communities.

Water Harvesting

With a growing need for resilience to climate change extremities, stormwater harvesting is becoming a necessity in both urban and rural environments.

Whether planning at the property scale or the catchment scale, Morphum supports the development of stormwater harvesting schemes and systems, including planning & design.

These systems reduce stress and demand on potable water networks by providing access to alternative water sources.

Enhanced Waterways

Our environment has been at the core of the business since the day Morphum was founded. We are committed to providing solutions that not only meet our clients' needs but also enhance the surrounding environment and communities.

Our team of ecologists, fluvial geomorphologists and engineers work closely together on stream works projects to create innovative designs that improve erosion protection, energy dissipation, stream stability and enhance freshwater and riparian terrestrial habitats.

We’re passionate about protecting fish passage and can provide a range of easy-to-construct solutions for remediating fish passage barriers.
