Environmental Management Services
Watersheds are exceedingly intricate and inter-dependent complexes of land, water, plants and animals. The watershed has emerged as the logical unit for managing surface water and to support the management of groundwater. However, this approach places significant pressure on resource agency managers and planners to provide leadership, innovation and a capacity for adaptation within the art and science of watershed management.Although the watershed concept has been accepted, it is essential to translate this interest into rational, logical processes that capture the interest of decision makers and (most important) the public. If watershed management is to be effective, it must be implemented with effective environmental policies and legislation. But watershed management is not all about science for there are many components that are not strictly science based. Organization and structure, funding, public involvement and decision making that transcend political boundaries are essential to develop effective management strategies – whether at the watershed, subwatershed or site plan level.
GREENLAND’s environmental management projects use professional, multi-disciplinary teams. The cost of pre-emptive environ- mental planning is a small percentage of new development costs. Despite its low cost, it provides invaluable information that can save money during infrastructure design and construction stages. It can also prevent costly remediation and rehabilitation works.
Our team of experts firmly believes that to improve the quality of life, society must first protect what is already healthy. Each project is client driven and ultimately generated by the unique set of circumstances that influence the area that is being considered for development. While tools and methods may change from time to time, our commitment to the needs of our clients remains a priority.
