Land & Water Foundation

Beyond our day-to-day project work, we also stand back and look at the wider issues, trends and implications of the changes in our industry and environment.

The Land & Water Foundation was set up by our founder, Richard Melhuish, in 2015. It aims to be a think-tank of highly skilled and experienced industry heavyweights who bring their understanding, knowledge and decades of shared expertise to the common good of waterway management.

A Foundation of Inspired Thinking and Creative Solutions

The Foundation’s remit is to foster, encourage and aid innovation and efficiency within our industry sector. It achieves this by:

• Carrying out research
• Examining new opportunities
• Linking with academia to help instigate and contribute to research
• Providing advice and knowledge to those severely affected by, or at risk of, the effects of climate change and related water issues
• Providing leadership and promoting mentorship and knowledge-sharing within our company
• Developing and promoting thought-leadership within our industry
• Supporting and sponsoring appropriate causes
