Water management planning is carried out taking into account the environmental, social and economic well-being of the people through the sustainable development of waterpower resources and to manage these resources in an ecologically sustainable way. This is achieved through the management of water levels and flows as they are affected by the operations of waterpower facilities and associated water control structures. CPL prepares Water Management Plans (WMP) as part of the permitting and design of waterpower facilities. We also have significant experience in preparing Master Drainage Plans for unique developments.
