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:Engineering Dynamism back into Rivers Webinar
DESCRIPTION:We are currently in a flood rich period in the UK and traditionally attention is focussed on direct protection to communities at risk. More recently it has been realised that opportunities to ameliorate flood impact also exist outside of at-risk towns and cities. \nThese forms of Natural Flood Management have received considerable attention of late and this talk will review the recent approaches to better managing our rivers and their floodplains to control flood peaks and importantly to restore the natural sediment balance in river systems that sees gravels stored in the catchments above flood risk areas rather than accumulating in urban flood relief schemes as it does at present. \nWe present data from several systems in the North of England where\, through the reestablishment of natural river and floodplain processes\, large volumes of sediment are now being locked up across floodplain areas reducing the flux of material heading downstream. We also discuss the added value that these types of schemes bring in terms of biodiversity gains and climate change mitigation through the rejuvenation of functional wetlands and consequent carbon capture.

SUMMARY:Vernon Harcourt Lecture - 2022 Flood risk management - a just transition to a climate resilient future
DESCRIPTION:Join us at this year’s Vernon Harcourt lecture\, which will be delivered by Sally Sudworth\, global head of sustainability and climate change at Mott MacDonald. \nAs it stands\, entire economies still revolve around fossil fuels\, with people around the world relying on them for not just their livelihoods but also their way of life. Making the switch to a sustainable way of living won’t happen overnight\, but green infrastructure can play a huge part in creating a cleaner\, greener\, healthier world. \nAs we look forward to COP27 for climate and COP15 for biodiversity\, the debate about whether COP26 was a success continues. We\, as engineers\, are a community of professionals that is uniquely placed to do something positive. This is as exciting and rewarding as it is demanding. \nWe must safeguard the globe’s precious resources\, creating balanced outcomes against the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We have a duty to ensure\, to the best of our ability\, that the infrastructure we deliver for our clients will be resilient to the impacts of climate change from wildfires\, drought\, extremes of temperature (freezing conditions to heat domes) to flooding. But resilience is just part of it\, we also have need to factor in carbon reduction\, making a conscious effort to reduce the amount we are locking in\, both in construction and operation. \nAre we doing enough? Come along\, join the discussion in person\, and better understand your role in making a difference.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Asset: Catchment system opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Brought to you by CIWEM Tyne & Humber branch and Stantec\, this first webinar in a two-part series will explore catchment system opportunities\, with the second focusing on solutions. \nCatchment investigation is a significant part of developing water and wastewater solutions. The Government has defined over 100 major water catchments in England and has identified a significant shortfall in the catchment spending required to meet policy objectives. Catchment management represents a new way of working. \nHistorically\, water companies have relied on predictable and visible treatment or engineering solutions. This is because delivering these is in their control. But catchment management schemes are more uncertain. They often rely on partnerships\, new skills and changing the behaviours of individuals and organisations within water catchments\, alongside new ways of predicting and monitoring success. \nIf adopting catchment management approaches enables a company to meet its legal water quality standards at a reduced cost its customers will benefit from lower bills. The environment also benefits from improvements in sustainability and biodiversity. \nBringing together key practitioners in this field from Northumbrian Water\, Promar International and Stantec\, we will discuss some of the key challenges in identifying and investigating catchment system opportunities. These include opportunity mapping\, working with multiple stakeholders\, dealing with fair share concepts and how to evidence the performance of catchment measures. \n  \nFind out more here.

SUMMARY:The John Mitchell Lecture 2022: Thinking conceptually about groundwater problems
DESCRIPTION:Many excavations and tunnels experience problems and instability caused by uncontrolled groundwater inflows or pressures. Groundwater control measures are used to overcome these problems and create stable and workably dry conditions below groundwater level. \nA key challenge for designers is that the performance of the various techniques is strongly influenced by the hydrogeological conditions at a site. Furthermore\, the available ground investigation data may have gaps or be subject to considerable uncertainty regarding key parameters such as permeability or hydraulic boundary conditions. This means that there are some groundwater problems where analysis involves so many assumptions and uncertainties that the design outcomes are of little practical value. \nThis lecture will discuss how thinking conceptually about groundwater problems can be of great benefit when developing of groundwater control schemes\, and that a robust conceptual model helps reduce the risk of designs being developed using inappropriate techniques. Examples will be given of cases where conceptual understanding of groundwater conditions proved vital in developing practical engineering solutions. \nFind out more here

SUMMARY:LIEM: Natural Flood Management - an urban perspective
DESCRIPTION:Natural Flood Management (NFM) involves slowing the flow of water from rural headwater streams to reduce flood risk in downstream urban areas. But how natural is ‘natural’ flood management’ and is there a place for it in urban green spaces? This talk will explore the scientific basis behind NFM and highlight some of the challenges of introducing ’natural’ to the urban water environment\, with reference to recent case studies. The talk should be of interested to landscape architects\, ecologists and flood risk management professionals involved in the management of urban green spaces.

SUMMARY:Greening London's Flood Risk Management Assets\, Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Delivering flood risk management assets\, like all other infrastructure\, is going through a paradigm shift to ensure provision intrinsically supports the sustainability agenda – net zero\, circular economy\, net gain and social value. This talk looks\, via the lens of activity on the Thames\, at how current practice is changing its shape to deliver sustainably. From: \n\nstrategy level approaches of using asset management\, which echoes the premise of the architecture of the built environment – ‘the greenest building [flood risk management asset] is the one you already have’\nthrough\, programme alignment that delivers to net zero and circular economy ambitions and targets\, and\nand operational techniques such as Integrated Green Grey Infrastructure\, and Estuary Edges approaches that deliver to net gain\, and that are increasingly enabling social value benefits.

SUMMARY:ICE - Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) in Yorkshire\, online
DESCRIPTION:Landscape architects 2B Landscape Consultancy Ltd have extensive experience spanning over 30 years in Landscape Design\, Assessment and Visualisation\, with a special interest in Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS). \nSuDS design teams will be familiar with the four pillars of SuDS; quantity\, quality\, amenity and biodiversity\, but often find their clients asking – “but isn’t it going to cost more?” \nWhen 2B was asked to provide a planting plan for an already designed drainage system\, they worked with the quantity surveyor to demonstrate that a landscape-based SuDS scheme would have saved 1.5% on the construction budget\, had landscape architects been involved in time. \nJoin us for this knowledge sharing event to find out how early engagement with landscape architects on drainage design can reduce scheme costs and deliver on the four pillars of SuDS. \nThe webinar will explore how reducing costs can be achieved alongside the four pillars of SuDS by: \nReducing the need for underground tanks and pipework.\nUsing site earthworks to construct the landscaped SuDS.\nAvoiding costs associated with connections by using natural drainage pathways.\nFollowing a recap on good SuDS principles generally\, 2B will walk through the proposed landscaped SuDS Design for the University of Hull student accommodation case study\, including the detail of where cost savings were identified compared to conventional drainage design. \nYorkshire Water will provide a brief overview of the 2020 Sewerage Sector Guidance as it relates to adoptable SuDS\, and detail the types of landscaped SuDS that can be presented for adoption locally.
