SUMMARY:River Water Quality &  Storm Overflows - Systems approach to maximise improvement
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by CIWEM\nEvent description\nSewage pollution from storm overflows in sewers has become a headline environmental and social water quality issue. A wide range of factors influence how frequently they spill. And a wide range of actions are needed to reduce that frequency. By looking beyond the obvious\, we can maximise the benefits of actions and make them as cost-effective to deliver as possible. \nAs Defra is consulting on its Storm Overflows Discharge Reduction Plan\, CIWEM is launching the findings of stakeholder research and systems mapping to highlight where action should be taken to get the best outcomes in reducing pollution from storm overflows. \nThis webinar will present why we need to look beyond just water companies to achieve lasting improvements on sewage pollution and set out the findings and recommendations of CIWEM’s work. This consulted a wide range of water professionals\, NGOs and local and national government\, agencies and regulators and involved systems-thinking and mapping specialists from Imperial College London to understand the system of pressures on sewerage infrastructure. \nThe findings set out where additional action – tapping into related areas of activity\, investment and policy – can supplement the measures set out by Government to tackle the issue\, and get more bang for our buck. \nWith speakers from CIWEM\, Imperial College London\, The Rivers Trust and Stantec this 90-minute event will explore what we need to do and who needs to act\, how that can give us not just cleaner\, healthier rivers but greener\, more climate resilient places to live\, how long it might realistically take and how much it might cost. \n  \nPart of the CIWEM Pollution digital series.

SUMMARY:Net Zero Together - How the water industry can measure\, manage & mitigate carbon.
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Water New Zealand and the CIWEM Aotearoa | New Zealand branch\nEvent description\nPlease note that this event will start at 5:30 pm New Zealand Time | 6:30 am BST. \nCIWEM and Water New Zealand are delighted to be able to share a fascinating session detailing how Auckland Council’s Healthy Waters department intend to take actions to meet the commitment outlined in Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri (Auckland’s Climate Plan) for Auckland to halve its emissions by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050. \nWith a population that continues to grow and a climate which has changed rapidly over the last decade\, the water cycle has been directly impacted and faces further instances of drought\, more extreme weather events\, rising sea levels and increased coastal flooding unless greenhouse gas emissions are dramatically reduced. \nThis webinar will provide an overview of how Healthy Waters are approaching carbon reduction through innovative means to build and operate a low carbon water system. \nOur speakers will share the journey so far and seek to inspire us all to go further and faster to meet Auckland’s goal of being net zero: \n5:30 pm | Session Intro and Challenges | Liam Foster and Jon Rix \n5:35 pm | A LGNZ view on decarbonisation | Mark McKeag \n5:40 pm | What role do carbon portals and tools play? | Jonny Breen \n6:05 pm | Healthy Waters Zero Carbon Team: an active approach to carbon reduction | Konrad Heinemann and Leigh Steckler \n6:35 pm | Q&A | facilitated by Jon Rix \n7:00 pm | Summary and introduction to optional discussion session | Liam Foster \n7:05 pm | Optional Discussion Forum – seeking to share ideas to the aspirations shared by Healthy Waters and determining how CIWEM and the industry can support moving forward. \n7:30 pm | event close \n  \n  \nPart of the CIWEM Climate Emergency Adaption & Resilience digital series.

SUMMARY:Bioretention Research & Practise - Outcomes & impacts of 3 year collaboration research project (Urban Green DaMS)
DESCRIPTION:This free event\, hosted by The University of Sheffield and Newcastle University\, will provide insight into the outcomes and impacts of a three-year collaborative research project (Urban Green DaMS) to improve design parameters for biofilters/raingardens.\n\nLimited places to in-person event\nPlaces are limited and will be allocated on a first-come\, first-served basis. If you are unable to register online\, please email Susan Richards to be added to the wait list. We reserve the right to limit the number of registrations per company.The session will be recorded and made available to anyone unable to attend in person. Please register for the ‘seminar recording’ to be notified when this is available. \nBackground\nDrainage/flood protection engineers need to be able to quantify how SuDS devices respond to rainfall events – including the extreme events that are responsible for flooding – to effectively use SuDS for stormwater management purposes. \nBiofilters (also known as raingardens) manage runoff from catchments typically ten times larger than their own plan area and provide filtration of pollutants associated with road runoff.ly \nThe ’Urban Green DaMS’ project collected data from a combination of full-scale test beds (lysimeters) at Newcastle University and column tests at The University of Sheffield. The data will help understand and quantify the influence of design parameters (growing media composition\, planting selection and outlet control configuration) on the rainfall retention (ET rates) and runoff detention performance (K values and outlet controls) of lined biofilter systems. \nFindings of the three-year EPSRC-funded collaborative research project will be summarised by the researchers and use of the data within modelling for rainwater management will be discussed. \nSuDS practitioners will talk about the impact of this work on design\, implementation\, regulatory targets\, and guidance including incorporation into the forthcoming update of CIRIA’s The SuDS Manual (C753F). They will also provide an overview of important ongoing retrofit SuDS projects. \nSponsorship opportunities\nFor more information about sponsorship opportunities\, please contact Louise Walker. \nWhy attend \n\nLearn how different types of vegetation and outlet controls impact surface water retention and detention in raingardens.\nUnderstand the impact of evapotranspiration and hydraulic conductivity on raingarden performance.\nDiscover how new data on raingarden performance can be included in the most commonly used modelling tools.\nParticipate in discussions on appropriate regulatory targets for surface water management.\nHear about the planned approach to update to The SuDS Manual (C753F) and incorporate knowledge from the latest research and practice..\nGain insight into the evolution of retrofit SuDS from practitioners involved in large-scale projects.\nEarn valuable CPD.\n\nWho should attend\nLead Local Flood Authorities\, Local authority planners\, Local authority highways teams\, Regeneration and redevelopment specialists\, Urban designers\, Engineering consultants\, Landscape architects\, Sewerage undertakers\, Environmental regulators\, Researchers\, SuDS designers\, Environmental organisations\, susdrain partners and supporters. \nWhen\nMonday 19 September 2022\n12:30 – 18:00 \nProgramme\n12:30 Welcome lunch \n13:30 Welcome and introduction\nProfessor Virginia Stovin\, Professor of Green Infrastructure for\nStormwater Management\, The University of Sheffield \n13:45 Effects of different vegetation and outlet controls on retention and detention\nwithin biofilters – lysimeter findings\nDr Daniel Green\, Research Associate: Sustainable Drainage\,\nNewcastle University \n14:00 – Effect of different vegetation on evapotranspiration rates and hydraulic\nconductivity within biofilters – column test findings\nDr Simon De-Ville\, Research Associate\, The University of Sheffield \n14:15 – Reflections on bioretention modelling\nDr Simon De-Ville\, Research Associate\, The University of Sheffield \n14:30 – Modelling SuDS with Autodesk InfoDrainage\nDaniel Yardley\, Product Engineer\, Autodesk \n14:45 – Interactive discussion and Q&A \n15:00 – Networking break \n15:30 – Stormwater management metrics: how do we quantify stormwater\nmanagement performance and what should our regulatory targets be?\nProfessor Virginia Stovin\, Professor of Green Infrastructure for\nStormwater Management\, The University of Sheffield \n15:45 – Updates to the CIRIA SuDS Manual\nBridget Woods-Ballard\, Technical Director\, HR Wallingford \n16:00 – – SuDS Design and Implementation – 20 years on\nZac Tudor\, Associate Landscape Architect\, Arup \n16:15 – Severn Trent Water’s Mansfield retrofitting programme\nJohn Brewington\, Regional Development Manager\, Severn Trent Water \n16:30 – Interactive discussion and Q&A \n16:55 – Closing remarks \n17:00 – Networking drinks \n\n\nFees\nsusdrain partners and supporters Free to attend\nCIRIA members Free to attend\nNon-members Free to attendBooking\nPlease sign in or create an account to register online for this event.\nIf you are experiencing issues registering online\, please complete and return the booking form to Susan Richards.\nAlternatively please contact us on 07933 181 765 or email our Customer Services team.\nConfirmation emails will be sent 10 days before the event. \nNotice for new bookings from EU/EEA customers only\nCIRIA is currently unable to directly process your transaction if you are purchasing from the EU/EEA region.
