Define the question
Set out the site, the catchment or the programme in question, and agree what the study has to answer for the people who commissioned it.

Understand the environment.
Inform the next decision.
MuGamma delivers environmental assessment, water and wastewater work, chemical contamination studies and sanitation programmes for organisations in the United Arab Emirates.
The practice
What the environmental practice does.
MuGamma carries out applied environmental research and assessment, on its own and with institutional partners. The work runs from field sampling and laboratory analysis through to the guidance that follows from the results.
Environmental work in the United Arab Emirates sits within requirements set by bodies such as the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment and the municipal authorities of each emirate. MuGamma reads the requirements that apply to a site or a programme and scopes the study around them. These bodies are named here as context for the work, and no relationship with them is implied.
How it works
Four steps from question to delivery.
Collect the field data
Sample and survey against an agreed protocol, using laboratory partners where the analysis calls for them.
Analyse and model
Interpret the results, compare them with published evidence and set out the options that follow from the findings.
Report and support delivery
Deliver written findings and recommendations, and stay available while the recommendations are put into practice.
What the work covers
Three areas of environmental work.
Water and wastewater
- Water quality and groundwater mapping
- Wastewater epidemiology and surveillance
- Natural and water-resource management
- Safe reuse of treated wastewater
Pollution and contaminants
- Persistent organic pollutants and chemical contamination
- Emerging contaminants in food and water
- Chemical management and safety
- Plastic waste and marine litter
Sanitation and management
- Sanitation programme evaluations
- Rural and urban water and sanitation
- Environmental management systems
- Decentralised treatment systems
Selected work
Water and wastewater projects from the portfolio.
The projects below were delivered by the same team that carries out this work in the United Arab Emirates. The location of each engagement is named with the entry.
Each entry names the location, the organisation that commissioned the work and the years of the engagement. Some of these engagements are still running.

What the engagement delivers
What you receive at the end.
A sampling and analysis plan
The plan sets out what will be sampled, where, how often and by which method, so the results can be defended later.
A written technical report
The report presents the measurements, the interpretation and the comparison against published evidence, with the limits of the study stated.
Recommendations you can act on
The recommendations name the options, the trade-offs between them and the sequence of work that follows from the findings.
Scope discussion
Prepare for a first conversation.
An environmental engagement is scoped before any fieldwork is agreed. The points on the right are the ones that shape the proposal.
