Team

The Umvoto staff comprises two directors, two principals, twenty-four technical staff, six administrative staff, two support staff, and usually at least two interns. In addition, specialist sub-consultants and academics support and advise the team. Our cohesive team of scientists and professional consultants work within four interrelated departments: Integrated Water Resource Planning and Management, Applied Geology, Environmental Science, and GIS and Remote Sensing.
