Water is an essential component of our human and natural environment.

The sustainable use of water resources and appropriate management of water quality are vital for industrial, commercial and domestic purposes; as well as for agriculture, landscape, nature conservation and leisure activities.

Gavia Environmental Ltd provides expertise in all aspects of the aquatic science and ecology. We are competent experts in water quality monitoring and management, pollution assessment and control, and aquatic ecology receptor evaluation (higher plants, phytoplankton, invertebrates, fish, amphibians, waterfowl and mammals). Gavia also provides experienced in-house SFCC qualified electric fishing team for fish population assessments and fish rescue operations.

 

Over the last couple of weeks we have been busy monitoring water quality in a range of environments, from London through to Southern Scotland.

These water quality monitoring contracts have been commissioned to ensure that our clients are compliant with planning and/or controlled activity regulations related to their construction works.

Here at Gavia, we cover both chemical and biological monitoring of water quality in-house. With over 20 years’ experience, our staff are highly skilled in all forms of water quality compliance monitoring and surveillance.  We regularly transfer this expertise into pragmatic and real world advice/solutions, with the aim of saving our clients time, money and reducing the risk of bad public relations.

We also specialise in the design and ecological management/enhancement of waterbodies…. lochs, lochans, ponds, lakes, reservoirs even SuDS basins. We have a range of approaches to suit a range of budgets and tried and tested techniques to improve water quality and circulation in both shallow and deep water.
