Summary

"Water is at the heart of the climate debate.

It is the immediate cause of more extreme weather events as the sea warms up. And it is the natural resource most threatened by climate change."

Water, as surely our most precious resource, has always required particularly careful consideration when planning construction projects. However, in the light of growing concerns over the likely impacts of climate change, population growth and changes in land cover, now more than at any time, sustainable management of water is an essential component of all construction projects.

This event seeks to inform participants about some of the threats posed to the availability of our water supply, the CO2 emissions associated with the cleaning, movement and heating of water and the increased likelihood of flooding associated with the continued growth in non-permeable surfaces. From this informed position, participants are then encouraged to think about a range of suitable measures that, when applied in appropriate circumstances, can provide solutions to some of the problems we face in achieving sustainable management of this greatly undervalued resource.

The cost includes locally sourced lunch and certificate for all CPD Modules and may be accepted by your company or institution as five hours CPD.
