The CIWEM World of Difference Award supported by Black & Veatch

2005

The 2005 CIWEM World of Difference Award went to Northumbrian Water for the Wear Valley Water Treatment Works and was presented to John Robson of Northumbrian Water at the CIWEM Annual Dinner in April.

The County Durham treatment plant situated within an area of Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty has been designed to minimise its impact on the surrounding land and began servicing the local population in November 2003. Features of the newly-built plant include measures to reduce the visible footprint of the plant, a turbine on the water inlet to produce renewable energy and the construction of wetland areas for local Biodiversity Action Plan priority species.

Two other entries were Highly Commended: the Knottingley Flood Alleviation Scheme & Wetland Creation Project and AFM (Active Filtration Media) Water Filtration.
