    Robert Keirle -

    I have been employed in the water and environmental sectors since just prior to privatization of the water industry in 1989. During this time, I have gained broad experience of environmental and drinking water quality and water resources issues, having worked for regulators (Environment Agency Wales and Ofwat), water companies, academia and a consultancy.
    
    Most recently, the research I undertook for my PhD focused on catchment management and how different methods of land management can impact on water quality. In my current role as Pollution Programme Manager with the Marine Conservation Society I have overall responsibility for the pollution you can see (such as marine litter and sewage-related debris) as well as the pollution you can't see (such as pathogens from water companies' continuous and intermittent sewage discharges, and diffuse pollution - including nitrates, pesticides and pathogens - from urban and agricultural sources).
    
    I am a Chartered Scientist, a Chartered Environmentalist, a Chartered Water and Environmental Manager, a member of the British Hydrological Society and a Corporate Member of CIWEM.
