Water is a vital resource that underpins economic development, public health, and environmental sustainability. As climate change, population growth, and regulatory pressures reshape global water management, governments, utilities, and private investors must adopt innovative, data-driven, and sustainable solutions to ensure long-term water security. 

At Steer, we provide strategic, commercial, and technical advisory services to help clients plan, fund, and deliver resilient water infrastructure. From water supply and wastewater management to flood resilience and sustainable drainage solutions, we work across policy, investment strategy, and infrastructure planning to support the transition to a more sustainable and efficient water sector.
