Sy pligte behels die monitering van watergehalte in die Bo-Vaal-opvangsgebied, en sluit die ontwikkeling van ʼn monitering- en bestuursprogram vir die Lesotho Hooglandskema in. Ander verantwoordelikhede behels die bestuur van oewerontwikkeling langs die Vaaldam en Vaalrivierbarrage, waterkwaliteitsverslae, sosiale media, bestuur van akwatiese indringerplante, monitering van vloede en die bestuur van publieke forums.
Van Wyk dien tydens sy loopbaan op die Raad van WISA, asook op die bestuurskomitees van verskeie Waternavorsingskommissieprojekte, die IVRS (Integrated Vaal River System), asook die Vaal Opvangsgebiedbestuursagentskap (Catchment Management Agency).
