CATCHMENT HYDROLOGY
Water Supply
Smith Hydro apply our expertise in hydrology and modelling to provide accurate assessments of water supply, yield and reliability assessments, dam inflow and irrigation systems. Our robust assessments include the evaluation of reliability of supply, inflow forecasting and optimization of water systems, meeting client and regulatory requirements.
Hydrological Impact Modelling
Smith Hydro can apply our expertise in hydrological modelling to assess a wide range of potential impacts, from mine site development and operations through to road networks and housing developments.
All models have limitations, so we can stress test options and uncertainties across a wide range of scenarios, including varying operating or climate conditions. Utilising optimised workflows ad cloud computing, Smith Hydro can deliver class leading impact assessments without the typical cost blowout.
Climate Change Assessments
Smith Hydro is experienced in assessing potential impacts of climate change from possible changes to extreme and average rainfall intensities, totals and other climate variables such as temperature and wind speed.
We recently completed aclimate change assessment project in Mali , where we utilised the CORDEX-Africa ensemble projections to help evaluate a range of possible scenarios for our client to help with long term operation planning and risk management.
Flood Forecasting and Warning Systems
We use our experience and expertise in hydrometric network design, hydrology, hydraulics, data processing, visualisation and communication to deliver a complete flood forecasting system, from design through to implementation and support.
Smith Hydro can deliver flood forecasting and warning systems designed to be fast and reliable under the most extreme conditions, for a wide range of climates. We work with our clients at all stages to ensure that our systems are designed to support them both now and under future scenarios, utilising the most appropriate tools for each situation.

Low Flow Modelling
Trees are more important today than ever before. More than 10,000 products are reportedly made from trees. Through chemistry, the humble woodpile is yielding chemicals, plastics and fabrics that were beyond comprehension when an axe first felled a Texas tree.
