Themes of the conference
As ever we will deliver engaging and thought-provoking content through presentations, roundtables and workshops addressing the critical challenges of:
WAPUG 40 and UPM 30 – In a year when we celebrate two significant milestones in the understanding of sewerage assets performance and their interaction with the wider environment, it is timely to both reflect on achievements and, more important, look towards the future of urban drainage management.
Drainage and Wastewater Management Plans - In England and Wales, can cycle 2 DWMP provide a framework to deliver the infrastructure needed over the next 40 years?
Storm Overflow Discharges - Successful Solutions – Our industry continues to gain significant public interest, which rapidly translates into the expectation of action. As we begin delivering in AMP8 it is critical to share best practices and innovation to deliver our programmes and society’s expectations.
Resilience – Sewerage infrastructure is increasingly tested by more frequent high-intensity rainfall, and our customer base has increasing expectations of our ability to perform regardless. How do we maintain and manage a cost-effective and resilient network? How can partners plan and design together to protect our homes from surface water flooding?
Utilising technology throughout the project and asset life cycle – Whether AI, machine learning, optimisation, active system control or high-performance computation, we have a wide range of tools and technologies to support planning, design and operations. Sharing experience of the benefits and challenges of implementing new approaches at scale supports moving our industry forward.
