**Your Impact**:
All living things depend on water, it is the building block that supports all life. Water issues are becoming increasingly prominent as we struggle with disparity between water availability and demands, water pollution, and competition for limited water resources. At Jacobs, we are working with clients, traditional owners and the community, to make a positive impact and deliver solutions that bring value to our communities and society as a whole.

Our water business provides the full spectrum of consulting services from advisory and engineering through to operations and asset management. We nurture the technical development of our global workforce of 55,000, to bring innovative ideas to solve our client’s challenges.
