SUMMARY:Future home life with water in new build residential developments
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will present work by University of Manchester researchers on the Ofwat Innovation-funded Enabling Water Smart Communities (EWSC) project. \nEWSC is an innovation project exploring the relationship between integrated water management\, community engagement and practices and housing development to unlock new opportunities for cross-sector delivery and stewardship. Ella Foggitt from the University of Manchester will present emerging findings from their mixed-methods study into people’s perspectives on the future of water and housing in England and Wales\, drawing out potential implications of this work for policy and practice. \nOur speaker\nElla Foggitt\, Research Associate – Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research\, University of Manchester \nElla’s research examines the socio-political and environmental sustainability dimensions of water\, sanitation\, and health challenges\, with a focus on governance and everyday life. \nIn her current work on the Enabling Water Smart Communities project\, Ella conducts social science research to explore visions and expectations of ‘water smart communities’ in England and Wales. Applying a social practices approach\, she investigates opportunities to enable sustainable living with water by residents of these new build homes and developments. Her previous work has included studies of community participation in environmental sanitation in urban Ghana\, and social dimensions of bioenergy systems in Nigeria. \nHeader image credit: StellaSallander | Adobe Stock

SUMMARY:Pollution from highway runoff and the strategies to manage it
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, Jo will describe the extent of water pollution caused by highway runoff in the UK and the effects of the toxins in the pollution. She will also explore how these harmful discharges fit in with other sources of pollution and how we could potentially raise the profile of the problem. \nJo will outline the existing treatment solutions for this runoff\, and discuss methods to deploy them more cost-effectively by working in partnership with others involved in river restoration. \nOur speaker\nJo Bradley\, Director of Operations\, Stormwater Shepherds UK \nJo has worked in the field of pollution control for over 30 years. She was at the Environment Agency for much of that time\, working with various industrial sectors to identify pollution control and prevention best practice. In recent years\, she has focused on urban pollution\, particularly pollution from highways. She joined the charity Stormwater Shepherds UK in 2000\, and she has been doing small amounts of research alongside many presentations\, meetings with highway drainage professionals and the development of guidance. \nImage credit: Jevanto Productions | Adobe Stock
