Water monitoring and management
We support clients from a range of sectors who require environmental consultants who specialise in water, including aquaculture, mining, construction, agriculture, manufacturing, and community water management. Our guidance on water quality monitoring, management, and regulatory compliance, helps organisations minimise environmental impacts, remain compliant, and ensure sustainable use of water resources.

Water Quality Monitoring Programs
Many approvals rely on the development of Water Quality Monitoring Programs. This may include consideration of a baseline monitoring program, ambient monitoring, and event monitoring of heavy rainfall events.
Groundwater Monitoring
Groundwater monitoring is a critical component of environmental management for a variety of projects. Monitoring of groundwater can include, Standing Water Level, water quality, groundwater recharge, and assessment of contamination.
Surface Water Monitoring
Surface water quality refers to water in streams, lakes, creeks, rivers or any other above-ground water source. Monitoring involves both in-situ water quality using calibrated water quality meters and multiparameter sondes and collecting water samples for analysis at NATA-accredited laboratories.
Receiving Environment Monitoring Programs
A Receiving Environment Monitoring Program (REMP) may be required under environmental approvals. The purpose of a REMP is usually to monitor the impacts associated with a point source discharge of contaminants to receiving waters.
Sediment and Nutrient Budgeting
Water balance models for operating aquaculture operations and hydrodynamic dispersion modeling are critical components of environmental assessments and provide valuable insights into designing monitoring programs.
Aquaculture
We help leading aquaculture companies navigate aquaculture development projects. Aquaculture operates in a multi-jurisdictional space, with shifting regulatory goalposts, and regulatory disruptions. We bring NGH’s expertise across the aquaculture value chain to drive business certainty and help clients navigate the complex approvals process.
What is a Receiving Environment Monitoring Program (REMP)?
REMP, or Receiving Environment Monitoring Program, is a monitoring program used to assess the impacts of human activities on the environment. REMPs are typically implemented by organisations, such as mining companies, industrial plants, or wastewater treatment plants, to monitor the quality of the surrounding environment and ensure that their operations are not causing harm to the local ecosystem.
REMP involves collecting and analysing samples of air, water, soil, and biota (plants and animals) from the surrounding environment on a regular basis. The data collected is then compared to established environmental standards and regulations to determine whether the company’s activities are having a negative impact on the environment.
Implementing a REMP program is important for organisations to maintain compliance with environmental regulations, ensure the sustainability of their operations, and minimise their environmental footprint.
Australia has unique and delicate ecosystems, including rivers, wetlands, and marine habitats, which are home to a vast array of flora and fauna. These ecosystems are highly sensitive to pollution, and even small amounts can have severe impacts on their health and sustainability.
