Groundwater dependent ecosystem (GDE) characterisation, monitoring & management

Get in touch

By applying specialist techniques to assess GDEs in various ecological settings, WaterMark Ecohydrology has developed practical expertise in classifying and evaluating GDEs to meet project regulatory requirements and assist ecologically sensitive project design.

Servicebg

We use state-of-the-art apparatus and technologies to characterise GDEs and have working relationships with academic institutions, including the Australian National University Farquhar Stable Isotope Laboratory.

Tagicon Services and techniques

Icon1

Moisture potential measurements of leaves and soils to define the gradients that drive water flows throughout the soil–plant–atmosphere continuum.

Icon2

Measurements of the physical parameters that define GDE health, including floristic structure, composition, and Leaf Area Index (LAI).

Icon3

Applying stable isotope tracers to model the ecological water requirements (EWRs) of terrestrial and aquatic GDEs.

Icon4

Radiogenic isotope studies, including radon-222, radiocarbon (C-14) dating, applied to determine the provenance and age of various water sources that contribute to GDE function.
