ABOUT
The effective management of surface water and groundwater resources is vitally important given the growing supply crises and the constant degradation of the environmental quality of these resources.
The water management of enterprises contemplates actions with the purpose of minimizing impacts on water sources in addition to promoting their rational use.
ARCHIPEL provides technical assistance for the management of water resources.
Our scope includes the following:
- Hydrological and hydrogeological studies;
- Conceptual and computational hydrogeological model;
- Sustainability study on water resource use;
- Water balances and water efficiency assessments;
- Water safety assessment and planning;
- Water treatment and reuse.
