Donna Murray is a C.WEM and C.Sci with over 20 years' experience in river and estuary modelling work. As a Water Quality Modeller and Trainer within the Catchment Management team at WRc, Donna has provided training courses on Water Quality Science, Modelling and RQP / MPER software, Water Resources and the Urban Pollution Management (UPM) procedure.

Join us for a dynamic in-person training day

Led by WRc water quality scientist, modeller and trainer, Donna Murray, this engaging course provides water and environmental professionals with the foundational (or refresher) knowledge and skills for the assessment and management of water quality impacts, including pollutants, monitoring strategies, and legislation that drives investment decisions.

By the end, attendees will be confident in the real-world application of water quality management. Six topics facilitate structured discussions where delegates can reflect on relevant contamination concerns, and exercises such as calculation of sample quality, compliance assessment of example river data, and interpretation of model outputs for use in decision-making.

Who can benefit?

Attendees may include early in their career in the water or environment industries, including those not of a scientific background, looking for knowledge of the basics of water science. For example, water companies, regulators, water quality planners and environment officers.
