A Great Achievement for our Water Resources Specialist!

October 24, 2024

We're delighted to congratulate Harriet Robson's recent promotion to Principal Water Resources Specialist!


Prior to joining our North Yorkshire office in 2022 as a Senior Water Resources Specialist, Harriet began her career in Water Resources with Mott MacDonald and Essex & Suffolk Water after developing a keen interest in water resources management whilst undertaking her MSc at Newcastle University.


Since joining Envireau Water, Harriet has not only strengthened our core capabilities in water resources regulation, but has also accomplished several personal milestones, from chairing a National Drought Working Group as part of the Water for Food Group (WFFG), to achieving chartered status as a Chartered Water and Environmental Manager.

As a Principal Water Resources Specialist, Harriet will continue to work closely with members of our established water resources team, which continues to go from strength to strength.

World Day to combat Desertification and Drought 2025

By Rachael Plant • June 17, 2025
Desertification and drought are two of the most pressing environmental challenges of the 21st century. Exacerbated by climate change, the devastating effects of both can be felt across the globe, with an estimated 40% of the world's population impacted by water scarcity events. As global temperatures continue to rise, and severe weather events increase, regions across the globe face the potential for increased frequency and severity of droughts, often progressing rapidly and unexpectedly. As of 29th May this year, a drought was officially declared in parts of the UK, having experienced the driest start to Spring in over 130 years. Whilst the recent rainfall at the start of June has helped to stabilise concerns, uncertainty for the months ahead still remain. How is the UK landscape affected by drought?

Securing your Water Bottling Plant against Climate Change

By Rachael Plant • June 11, 2025
As the threat of climate change continues to grow, the occurrence of extreme weather events is becoming increasingly common across the UK, with the rising frequency of flooding and drought posing significant challenges nationwide. After the recent dry spell experienced across the UK, one thing is clear: climate change is a hazard affecting all industries and it is more important than ever for businesses to take proactive steps to secure their water supplies against these unpredictable weather events. We asked our Principal Hydrogeologist, Shona Symon , for her thoughts on the matter within the bottled water industry. Shona, can you explain the importance for operators to safeguard their water bottling plant against the impacts of climate change, and what challenges may arise if not adequately protected?
