The pressure on the World's fresh water resources is increasing all the time, with population growth, rising per capita water consumption, pollution and environmental degradation all contributing to ever-greater problems of availability and distribution. Competition for scarce water resources leads to trans-boundary disputes on a range of scales, and water resources studies can no longer be confined to hydrological science, but need to consider the social, economic and even political dimensions.
The key to sustainable development of water resources lies in developing a thorough understanding of their variability and availability, and taking an integrated approach to their development and management, ensuring the participation of stakeholders at all stages of the project. Sclumberger Water Services is dedicated to providing a comprehensive service to our clients, covering all aspects of the evaluation, development and management of water resources, on scales ranging from individual abstractions up to entire river basins.
