This 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

The lecture reviews the construction of the Kilsby Tunnel built in the 1830s under the direction of Robert Stephenson, which faced the problem of driving through 400m of quicksand. The lecture will discuss route selection, geology, pumping and construction methods.

Subsurface water flow can lead to instability and, ultimately, failure of coal tips, landslides, and earthen dams, and it can also act as a significant pathway for contaminants.  

Learning the Lessons from Groundwater Control Problems – Dr Martin Preene.

This exhibition explores the hidden depths of water engineering and the work of behind-the-scenes heroes, who fight fatbergs and flooding, and save lives through the provision of clean water and sanitation. Featuring inspiring examples of water-related projects around the world, the exhibition is p…

Learning the Lessons from Groundwater Control Problems – Dr Martin Preene.

Predicting the next major flood or drought event is of paramount interest to water managers. In particular, understanding the behaviour of streamflow and groundwater resources is critical in estimating the risk associated with these hydrological extremes.

An exciting competition spearheaded by ICE President Professor Anusha Shah aims to use art to engage the next generation of engineers. 

Join us for the ICE's first-ever creative arts festival, which looks to make crucial connections between civil engineering, nature and the arts.
