CONSULTANCY
We work with water resource and supply systems (from utility to multi-country river basin scale), linked water and power infrastructure systems, and water-energy-food-environment (WEFE) systems.
Our services are enabled by advanced and customisable software tools.
WATER
Nexsys develops and applies advanced water resources planning and management analyses. We create computer simulations of water systems under multiple scenarios, evaluate and/or optimize performance, and make design or policy recommendations.
We use decision-making under uncertainty (DMU) planning methods to help decision makers understand system vulnerabilities to uncertainties like climate change and water demand growth. We help clients identify what interventions maximize system performance given multiple goals (e.g., service levels, resilience, ecosystem services, etc.) whilst minimising costs…
Services include, for example:
→ Water supply, hydropower, irrigation, and ecosystem service design, operation and planning
→ Vulnerability assessment (to climate change, demand growth, etc.)
→ Stress testing and optimization of future options, portfolios, or adaptive pathways
→ State-of-the-art stakeholder interaction, learning and communication
WATER-ENERGY SYSTEMS
We develop and use state-of-the-art tools for the combined analysis of water resource and power systems. We undertake similar studies to those in the water area but considering the interactions between river basins (including agriculture and ecosystem services), energy, and wider WEFE systems. Most studies involve assessing impacts of future supply and demand changes or optimising intervention synergies within multisector systems.
