3rd ICE/CIWEM Yorkshire and Humber flooding and water quality conference

With the growing concerns about climate change, flooding and water quality in the Yorkshire and Humber regions, the ICE Yorkshire and Humber Committee, in collaboration with the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM) Tyne and Humber Branch, will host the third annual conference on flooding and water quality in the region. ICE YH Committee member Roger Falconer has headed up the conference planning panel and cultivated an interesting and comprehensive programme for the day with expert speakers and panelists. He will chair the conference, the main aim being to bring together all key stakeholders engaged in flood risk management and water quality, to discuss a range of solutions to reduce risk, enhance resilience and adapt for future climate change impacts. Yorkshire Water and the Environment Agency are once again our strategic partners, as we continue to grow this successful and important annual conference. The conference will end with a panel question and answer session, with senior representatives from key organisations and institutions responding to questions from delegates. The aim is to work together to deliver the best solutions for residents and business communities within the region to reduce the impacts of flooding in the future, with more resilient solutions, adapted for climate change.
