International Water Consultancy Services

Water Resource Associates was formed in 1994 by a network of experienced water consultants with world-wide experience of water issues. Our combined international experience spans 120 countries covering Western and Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia the Middle-East and the Caribbean.

We provide world-class specialised consulting services in catchment hydrology and hydrochemistry, flood risk assessments, hydrological modelling of water resource systems, groundwater monitoring, water management software, water resource assessment and planning, and water quality modelling and assessment.

Our software packages include Aquator, HYSIM, HYSIM-CC and INCA.

As a commercial data service for clients, we provide the following services: (i) CHIRPS data service, which combines data from real-time observing meteorological stations with infra-red data to estimate precipitation, and (ii) TRMM data service, which provides continuous rainfall time-series and rainfall intensity-duration-frequency [IDF] curves for any point on the globe.

    • AQUATOR
      Simulation of water resource systems
      expand_less
      HYSIM-AQUATOR was developed jointly by Water Resource Associates and Oxford Scientific Software Ltd during a three-year research and development contract for SNIFFER in 1999-2001. The results of the research were published by the Foundation for Water Research in February 2001.

      The original integrated HYSIM-Aquator software package was destined for use in determining the deployable output of water supply systems in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Since then, HYSIM-Aquator has become the preferred choice for water resources system modelling and is used routinely by water companies, government agencies and consultants working in the field of water resources planning and river basin management. The largest river basins in the United Kingdom are modelled using Aquator.

      Aquator is a powerful application for developing and running conjunctive use water resource system models. It is equally at home with simple models having just a few components as well as large complex models comprising many hundreds of components.
    • HYSIM
      Hydrological catchment model for resource assessment and flow naturalisation (free evaluation available).
      expand_less
      HYSIM is a hydrological simulation model (rainfall-runoff model) which uses rainfall and potential evaporation data to simulate the hydrological cycle (surface runoff, percolation to groundwater and river flow) on a continuous basis.

      HYSIM’s parameters define in a realistic way the hydrology and hydraulics of the whole river basin (watershed).
    • HYSIM-CC
      Hydrological model to quantify the effects of climate change.
      expand_less
      WRA provide a model, termed HYSIM-CC, to quantify the effects of climate change. With the model you can: i) Work with IPCC SRES climate scenarios, ii) Import climate and other data, iii) Analyse changes to river flow, runoff, soil moisture, groundwater recharge, snow melt, frost days and irrigation demand, iv) Simulate the impacts anywhere in the world, and v) Output the results in a range of graphic formats or as csv files.
    • INCA
      INCA (Integrated Nitrogen in Catchments) has been used in many European catchments
      expand_less
      INCA is a dynamic, processed-based model providing representation of flow and water quality with plant and soil system dynamics and in-stream biogeochemical and hydrological dynamics. The INCA model has been used successfully to assess a wide range of environmental change issues in catchments.

    Data Service

    CHIRPS

    The Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station data (CHIRPS) is a quasi-global rainfall data set. As its title suggests it combines data from real-time observing meteorological stations with infra-red data to estimate precipitation. The data set runs from 1981 to the near present.

    WRA has the complete archive of CHIRPS daily and sub-daily data for 1981-2019, and has developed a software suite to facilitate extraction and analysis for user-defined polygons such as river basins.

    WRA provides rainfall data-sets on this basis as a commercial service for clients, and has so far completed CHIRPS projects in Europe, Africa, Middle East and Far East.

    > View More Information

    TRMM

    Since 2010, WRA has been actively using TRMM data for water resource and flood defence projects, particularly in areas of sparse data. Our TRMM data service provides continuous rainfall time-series and rainfall intensity-duration-frequency [IDF] curves for any point on the globe between the 50 degree latitudes, in formats which are easy to use for hydrological analysis.

    WRA’s IDF software analyses TRMM rainfall by quarter degree grid cell for any duration between 3 and 72 hours for the post-1998 period, a record of 192 months of short-duration rainfall data.

    The data have been used, tested and validated by WRA in Africa, the Middle East and Far East, by comparison of statistics with ground stations.

    WRA provides processed rainfall and IDF data as a commercial service for clients, and the pricing is based on the number of quarter degree grid cells per grid cell and number of IDF curves and tables provided.
