Background

Water Supply/Sanitation and Hydrology of Civil Infrastructures remain to be a huge area of interest to WEMA Consult (T) Ltd. The field has become of more demand and emphasis particularly with the recent dynamic on hydrological measures due to climate change.  WEMA hydrological analysis and design of water infrastructure have always taken into account resilience to climatological, physical, and human behaviour changes. Our ongoing and completed projects presented below demonstrated how far we have come from in this field of operation.
