WATERSHED CAPABILITIES
Tane & Associates
operates an independent training, research and development facility focusing on
practical and proven technologies for integrated planning, development and
management of aquifers, floodplains and watersheds.
PROGRAM AREAS
Mapping &
modelling watershed systems
Riparian
ecology & restoring watersheds
Floodplain
planning & catchment management
Natural farming
& forestry systems
Asia-Pacific
terraquaculture systems
PROGRAMS IN PROGRESS
Watershed Audits Habitat and regolith mapping,
aquifer recharge, land degradation and stream health assessments using remote
sensing, benchmark surveys and ecological indicators. This project is based on watershed
systems’ methodologies for establishing benchmarks and mapping and modelling
sustainable development for multiple landuse watersheds: based on case studies
in
Floodplain Planning Sustainable
development of floodplains requires high resolution digital orthophoto mapping
to enable accurate and reliable floodway mapping. We offer practical and
applied applications of geospatial technology including environmental imaging
systems for environmental design of natural farming and forestry systems, and for
planning and developing floodplains sustainably.
Riparian Management Riparian zones are
critical management areas needing special attention. They are important aquifer
zones providing reliable supplies of fresh clean water and when operating to
their full potential generate the highest overall land
productivity. Learn how to re-hydrate riparian zones and their underlying
aquifers to maintain reliable water supplies all year round.
Natural
Farming Systems: The customary practice of natural farming in the
Asia-Pacific realm is terraquaculture – farming living water flowing through
the landscape. Land based
terraquaculture systems re-hydrate the landscape and rely on aquifer fed
springs to meet the needs of natural farming, beneficial waste reuse and
rehabilitating high country watersheds.
PROJECT SUPPORT
Watershed Systems provides
practical and applied programs in capacity building and professional skills
training, designed to meet the needs of professional practitioners and community
organisations. We provide on-site support, supervisory management and technical
assistance for our training, research and development programs.
