Envireau Water has welcomed Harriet Robson to the team this week as our Senior Water Resources Specialist. Based in our North Yorkshire office on the Aske Estate, Harriet will be focusing on abstraction licensing, environmental permitting, and other regulatory issues. 

Harriet has joined us from Essex and Suffolk Water where she worked as a Hydrologist, managing surface water abstraction for daily use as well as creating models to assess future outcomes taking account of climate change and drought. Prior to this role, Harriet graduated from Durham University with a BSc in Geophysics with Geology and an MSc in Hydrology and Climate Change from Newcastle University.

 

Harriet commented, ‘I am very excited to be involved in project work and gain experience in the wider aspects of project management. The exposure across a broad range of projects and sectors will support my career development and this is something which attracted me to Envireau Water.’


Phil Ham, Managing Director added, ‘It is great to have Harriet on board to strengthen our core capabilities in water resources regulation and bring views across from a water company perspective. I am looking forward to working with Harriet, as are the rest of the team and I know she will be a fantastic addition.’

World Water Day 2025

By Rachael Plant • March 21, 2025
Climate change is an urgent issue we cannot ignore, and requires the collective action of communities across the globe if the worst effects are to be mitigated. From rising sea levels, extreme weather events to a loss of biodiversity, the potential impacts are widespread. However, this world water day, the focus is rightly on glacial preservation - our planet's largest natural freshwater reservoir. Why is it important? At Envireau Water, we recognise the widespread impact that glacial meltwater has across the whole planet, leading to the escalation of more extreme weather events as a result. Not only does this impact the environment with the disruption of ecosystems and water cycles, but also has a profound impact on society and industries reliant on a stable water supply. As a team of water scientists, we have witnessed first-hand the undeniable impact that flooding and drought events have had on the mineral, agricultural, industrial and development sectors, from failing crops and flooded farmland to a halt in distilling operations and delayed development projects, the ripple effects of these events are felt across communities and businesses alike.
