Harriet Robson achieves Chartered Status

Nov 27, 2023

We’re delighted to announce that Harriet Robson, our Senior Water Resources Specialist is now a Chartered Water and Environmental Manager (C.WEM)!


Harriet's accomplishment is testament to her continuous pursuit of professional development and highlights her dedication and expertise in her field. Over the last couple of years, Harriet has been excelling as Chair for a Task and Finish Group of the Water for Food Group, which aims to develop a drought management plan template and water security planning tools specifically for the agri-food sector. 


Her extensive experience of developing Water Resources Management Plans and Drought Plans helps to establish Water for Food as an essential need whilst helping to ensure and maintain its availability.


In the spring, Harriet even led a National Drought Group Workshop; working with other nationally critical organisations to discuss and potentially influence Environment Agency communication around drought to help enhance preparation time for farmers, as well as streamline the Reservoir Grant system to influence planning constraints and water availability positively.


Combined with her achievements to date, Harriet’s recent chartership helps further highlight her knowledge and expertise in navigating the complexities of water-related challenges!


Harriet commented:


“I’m really pleased to have achieved chartership from CIWEM as a Chartered Water and Environmental Manager. I have been involved in CIWEM throughout my career, including being Chair of the East Anglian Branch for 2 years, and I am glad that I can demonstrate my commitment to them by becoming a Chartered Member. 


The wide variety of technical work and project management that I have done at Envireau Water over the past 18 months, as well as my previous experience in the water industry for 5 years, has allowed me to evidence my career development and my competency as a member of the water and environment sector.


Thank you to Envireau Water for supporting me along this journey!”



Dr Phil Ham, Managing Director, commented:


“On behalf of the team at Envireau Water, we are all so pleased for Harriet and her impressive achievement! Her expertise is undoubtedly an asset as we work towards addressing the evolving challenges in the water sector and contributing to a more resilient and sustainable future.


A huge well done, Harriet!”


As a Chartered Water and Environmental Manager, Harriet will continue to play a crucial role in shaping our approach to water resources management and sustainable practices within the Envireau Water team, focusing primarily on abstraction licensing and environmental permitting.


As a company, we pride ourselves in supporting our team’s continued development and success. From conferences, coaching, to chairing industry groups, the development of the Envireau Water team is our priority!

Known to many as the ‘Hub of Hydrogeology’, it's only fitting that Envireau Water join the fold. Last week, we had the pleasure of celebrating the official launch of our new office with key individuals who have played pivotal roles in our expansion into Shrewsbury and fellow professionals from the local community. Dr Phil Ham , our managing director, commented, "We were thrilled to celebrate our launch with friends old and new. It's safe to say our team felt right at home, and were welcomed warmly into what can only be described as a thriving community of hydrogeologists.

We’re always excited to see our team grow, and we are pleased to welcome Sophie to the team. Sophie has joined the Scottish office, where she will begin her career as a Water Resources Consultant, working closely with our Senior Water Resources Specialist Harriet Robson and Principal Water Resources Specialist Tamsin Morey . Before joining us, Sophie completed an MSc in Environmental Technology with Integrated Water Management from Imperial College London, after completing a BSc in Physical Geography from the University of Edinburgh. During her master’s degree, she worked alongside Anglian Water as part of the Innovation Research Team where she was involved in several projects, including a nitrous oxide mitigation and modelling project at a water recycling plant. As a Water Resources Consultant, Sophie will be part of a range of projects involving water supply assessments, environmental permitting, water/nutrient neutrality strategies, data analysis and the delivery of reports to clients. Since joining the team, she has already been getting stuck into working on application packs and abstraction letters across a range of sectors.

Water is a critical resource which needs careful management to achieve the right balance between the needs of the environment, people, and businesses. It forms the basis of sustainable development of societies worldwide, playing a vital role within energy, health, and food sectors as well as biodiversity conservation. However, communities around the world continue to face severe water scarcity, with the growing threats of population growth and climate change on our water supplies holding the potential to spark increasing global and local tension. So, what does it mean to be a good ‘water steward’? Water stewardship is more than just complying with local regulatory requirements and protecting your water supply. It requires a much wider understanding of the impacts of your water use, at both a site and catchment scale, and working collaboratively not only with regulators but with all stakeholders to address shared water challenges. This all starts by adopting the mindset that your water supply is just one small part of a much larger cycle.
