Water Quality Monitoring / Assessment
Hydrec Environmental Consulting can provide a wide range of surface water and groundwater monitoring services to met the needs of the agricultural, commercial, construction and industrial sectors. Sampling plans are scoped and designed to met the client's specific requirements, with all analysis completed by independent INAB / UKAS accredited laboratories.

To establish baseline water quality conditions as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment, Appropriate Assessment, Assimilative Capacity Assessment and hydrological / hydrogeological impact assessment process;
-
To ensure compliance with Industrial Emissions, Waste Permit/Licencing and Discharge Licencing requirements;
-
To determine conditions prior to the commencement of construction, during construction and post construction;
-
To aid in the preparation of source protection plans and drinking water compliance.

In addition to water quality assessment, Hydrec Environmental can offer specialist expertise in freshwater sediment sampling and modelling thus ensuring that an integrated approach to all assessments is undertaken. ​
