Presentation by Dr Frances Elwell of Mott MacDonald.
UK water companies are investing in catchment management with the aim of reducing pollution in the rivers and aquifers that they use to supply water. By improving the way that land is managed, pollution issues can sometimes be resolved in the catchment, instead of using expensive and carbon-intensive water treatment processes.
Anglian Water are particularly concerned about metaldehyde (an ingredient in some slug pellets) and nitrates (which are found in fertilisers and manure). Mott MacDonald and Anglian Water are working together to understand Anglian Water's catchments and to investigate where alternative catchment management could improve water quality. We are building models of the catchments which we can use to identify the areas that will benefit most from changes in catchment management.
In this presentation we will describe Mott MacDonald's and Anglian Water's work on catchment management, the aims, objectives and findings so far, including some illustrative case studies.
