Register your interestRecognising the impact that storm overflows can have on water quality requires a design perspective on wastewater network operation alongside a dive into past and current policy requirements. Through this course, delegates will gain the critical knowledge and skills to understand how storm overflows are monitored and improved - accompanied by case studies of water quality investigations and the latest innovative management solutions from across the UK.
For whole teams looking for more comprehensive training programme in this area, we can offer an optional in-person group practical session (1 day), and/or add-on courses covering aspects of water quality legislation and analysis (1-2 days) - please see below for more information.
Delegates may include those involved in storm water overflow planning and scheme design. For example, water quality and network modellers; hydraulic engineers and wastewater asset managers, as well as those working on Drainage and Wastewater Management Plans.
Participants may also be drawn from any area of business or service where impacts of storm overflows affect their decision making. For example, water companies, regulators, consultants, wastewater network managers and environment officers.
Attendees to the course (core modules) will have some understanding of water quality investigations from their own experience or previous attendance on our course(s): Foundations of Water Quality and the Environment; Urban Pollution Management.
This live online course is interactive, with a mix of lecture, group discussion, and exercises to facilitate an engaging learner experience. Core modules (delivered over 2 days' learning) cover:
For practitioners, an optional 1-day in-person practical session provides a hands-on group session to carry out statistical analysis of an example overflow using water quality investigation data.
WRc offers complimentary courses covering aspects of water quality legislation and water quality analysis. These can be taken separately, or provided during this training as add-on courses (1 day each): Foundations of Water Quality and the Environment; Urban Pollution Management.
