SHER excels in surface water management, hydrology and hydraulics projects dedicated to the prevention and management of flood and drought risks, as well as to the dimensioning of hydraulic infrastructures and the preservation of water bodies.
Water management to prevent flooding and drought
Flood prevention involves a number of disciplines, including hydrology, topography, soil sciences, agricultural practices and land use planning. Our multidisciplinary teams have in-depth technical expertise, both internationally andnationally.
We offer concrete solutions, tailored to the specific technical, economic and environmental constraints of each project. Our work includes field missions and field measurements, which are crucial to the success of our studies.
We provide overall management of projects to prevent flooding and drought.
Following an in-depth diagnosis of flood risks, we develop approaches based on soft hydraulics (grass strips, fascines), regenerative hydrology (slowing down and infiltration, combined with agro-ecological practices) and structural solutions (ditches, re-mandration of watercourses, retention basins, immersion zones).
