Conference season is well underway!

October 24, 2022

This month, whilst our team delivered hydraulic models, hydrogeological impact assessments, drainage designs and many other specialist reports, some of us managed to sneak out to a conference or two…


On the 18th October, James Dodds took to the stage at the Housing Forum National Conference 2022 in London. The Housing Forums purpose is to encourage collaborative solutions that increase supply and delivery of quality homes through partnership.

This year’s conference was themed ‘Shared Strength through Housing Partnerships’ and to this end James Dodds and RSK colleague Marc Perry talked about ‘Nutrient Neutrality, what it is and what can be done about it.’

James Dodds commented “This was a new conference for us, but it was a pleasure supporting our RSK colleagues and was a fascinating insight into the challenges faced by the house builders. I hope that the attendees enjoyed our presentation as much as I enjoyed the discussions around the pathway to Zero Carbon."


Following this, on the 20th October, Envireau Water hosted a table for clients and staff at the British Soft Drinks Association annual industry lunch, at the Savoy in London.

This key event is a staple in our calendar, and this year was attended by
James Dodds, Phil Ham, Penny Jenkinson, and Jenny Harrison, together with our clients from Waterlogic, Trederwen Springs, Marlish Water and Radnor Hills.


The lunch was supported by guest speaker, former England Rugby legend and broadcaster, Martin Bayfield, and provided an excellent day of opportunities to network and socialise with leading industry figures, those from related industries, the media and government.


Penny Jenkinson commented “We were once again delighted to attend this annual event, to meet with clients and colleagues old and new, from across the soft drinks industry. Envireau Water is an active member of The British Soft Drinks Association, and it is an honour to work in collaboration with BSDA members through the Bottled Water and Sustainability working groups.”


But, what's next in the events calendar? 


The #BHUC2022 run in collaboration with British Soft Drinks Association, will take place on the 3rd November at the National Memorial Arboretum.


Our renowned conference is well known for its expert selection of speakers, now in its 10th year, this year is no different! A group of specialist individuals have been selected to bring our theme ‘Making the Invisible, visible’ to life, drawing on practical case studies, years of industry experience and an outstanding understanding of their subject areas.


The afternoon will consist of two fantastic workshops, the first of which will lead by Severn Trent Water, who will lead discussions about common borehole ‘myths’, using case studies from the water industry to demonstrate what can go wrong with boreholes, and how to avoid them going wrong in the first place! Our parallel workshop on Water Stewardship, run by Envireau Water in collaboration with colleagues from Central Solutions and The Alliance for Water Stewardship, will be a hands-on practical session discussing what stewardship can offer to abstractors and the journey towards certification, with a focus on how to successfully undertake stakeholder engagement.


Water professionals can expect to leave the day buzzing with newfound confidence, a greater knowledge of boreholes and private water supplies, and practical ways to understand and overcome the day-to-day challenges of working within the regulated water environment

Across the globe, plastic pollution is becoming an increasingly crucial topic, with an estimated 400 million tonnes being produced every year world wide. While the focus is often on visible plastic (including bottles, bags, and packaging), a growing body of research is turning its attention to the invisible threat of microplastics and emerging contaminants, which are increasingly finding their way into water sources, food chains and even the air we breathe.  What are microplastics? Microplastics are a growing threat to the health of our planet. Despite being barely visible, these tiny plastic particles account for roughly 8% of global plastic waste, a number that is set to increase in the coming years.

As much as we all love the sunshine and have been embracing the recent warmer weather spell across the UK, the prolonged dry conditions are now raising concerns that England may be at risk of a potential drought this summer. Following an exceptionally sunny and dry April, which experienced just over 56% of usual rainfall, the start of May was also the warmest on record, surpassing the previous high set in 1990. With water resources already strained, it is more important than ever that proactive measures are promptly adopted to mitigate this risk, promote water conservation and avoid the potential for future restrictions. We asked Principal Water Resources Specialist, Tamsin Morey , for her thoughts on the matter... Tamsin, what dangers are we already seeing in the UK?
