Water scarcity is an on-going concern in the UK, particularly in the South East. Temporal alterations in rainfall mean that water availability will be less predictable, and in order to secure water supply alternatives have to be looked at. Water storage has traditionally been associated with the building of large dams and reservoirs; however, new and innovative water storage techniques exist, but have not been noticed by many civil engineers.
This free seminar will raise awareness of these techniques and alter the misperceptions regarding water storage. And it will look to rainwater harvesting, SUDs, ASR and multipurpose reservoirs as methods for addressing this issue of intermittent rainfall.
Key topics:
The role of water in climate change
Multipurpose reservoirs
Rainwater harvesting
SuDs: beyond drainage
ASR
Joined up methods
Don't forget the customer: realising that technical solutions can only do so much.
