Hosted by the CIWEM Metropolitan branch
Event description
Following the success of our recent webinar in May 2024 on SuDS and their role in improving water quality, the CIWEM Metropolitan branch invites you to the second part of our water quality series. Join us in Angel, London, for an in-person panel discussion where industry experts from Buckinghamshire Council, Chilterns AONB, and Stormwater Shepherds will share their insights.
We will hear from Jed Ramsay and Kate Heppell, who will tell us about findings from the Smarter Water Catchments project focusing on the River Chess, one of six Thames Water pilot rivers. The initiative brings together key organisations and community groups to address issues on a catchment scale and aims to restore one of the Chiltern’s finest chalk streams to health. The project is taking a ‘systems-based’ view of the environment that addresses multiple challenges and delivers landscape-scale solutions that make the most of bigger opportunities to aid nature’s recovery.
Following the publication of Stormwater Shepherd and CIWEM’s Highway
Runoff and the Water Environment report, we will learn from Jo Bradley, one
of its key authors about the problem caused by pollution from highway outfalls
and potential solutions such as environmental permitting, remediation, and
funding.
Join us for this engaging event, followed by an opportunity to network.
Part of the CIWEM Catchment Management and Nature-based Solutions series.
