UNIVERSITY OF CHESTER CPD COURSES
IN FLOOD MODELLING: INTRODUCTION
TO FLOOD MODELLING AND MODEL
CALIBRATION, VALIDATION AND EVALUATION
These courses are led by practitioners from the University of
Chester, Eden Vale Young and Weetwood. Day 1 - ‘Introduction
to flood modelling’ aims to introduce flood professionals, local
councils and environmental graduates to numerical flood models.
Day 2 – ‘Model calibration, validation and evaluation’ aims to
expand on basic modelling skills by introducing participants to
thinking about model inputs and outputs. Participants will use
industry-standard hydrological models such as Flood Mapper
(formerly ISIS) and TUFLOW to learn how to build models, how
to calibrate models using data, how to check models for errors
and how to evaluate model performance.

THE VALUE OF INTELLIGENCE IN THE
WASTEWATER NETWORK
London
This CIWEM-led event will identify the drivers and regulations
relating to the Wastewater Network and discuss the application
of technological solutions to challenges being faced by water and
sewerage companies. It will showcase examples from Europe
where “Smart” Wastewater Networks are already in use, and
identify how experience gained in these cases may be applied
in the UK.

PHOSPHORUS REMOVAL FROM
CATCHMENTS: TECHNOLOGY OR SOURCE
CONTROL?
Nottingham Conference Centre
The Water Framework Directive outlines a number of measures
of water quality with which a watercourse must comply and in
the UK phosphorus is the most common parameter causing
a watercourse to fail. This AquaEnviro conference aims to
explore the opportunities for reducing phosphorus discharges to
catchment in order to achieve WFD compliance.

series of biyearly conferences aiming at developing a post-2015
agenda for a nexus approach on water, soil and waste. It will
consider how a nexus approach for environmental resources
may help to decrease environmental risks and ecological
scarcities under conditions of global change as well as to ensure
economic development. It will focus on three themes on three
consecutive days. Each day will be dedicated to one aspect of
global change: demography, urbanization and climate.

A TOTEX FUTURE
Aston Villa Football Club, Birmingham
British Water in partnership with MWH is organising its second
major conference for BIM in the water sector. At the first
Conference in April 2014, it was recognised that significant
additional benefits could be realised in the water sector by
applying BIM – Building Information Modelling – to the whole
life of an asset. This 2015 conference will explore how the water
sector is using BIM and what still needs to be done and will look at
the benefits of ALIM– Asset Lifecycle Information Management –
and its implementation. It will also ask if and how BIM and ALIM
can support Totex.

INTERNATIONAL DESALINATION
ASSOCIATION 2015 WORLD CONGRESS:
Desalination & Water Reuse: Renewable
Water Resources to Meet Global Needs
San Diego, California, USA
The IDA World Congress is a premier global event in the
desalination and water reuse industry. The congress will
feature four days of technical sessions, lectures, roundtable
and panel discussions with the theme ‘Renewable Water
Resources to Meet Global Needs’. This theme is vital to the
discussions already taking place surrounding the growing
demand for sustainable sources of fresh water in response
to population growth, economic expansion, degradation of
existing resources, and the effects of climate change.

INNOVATIONS IN WASTEWATER
TREATMENT FOR ACHIEVING COSTEFFECTIVE RESOURCE RECOVERY
University of Leeds
This Aqua Enviro international conference intends to examine
treatment alternatives that might provide radical changes to
how we currently treat wastewaters. In particular it aims
to promote the use of low-cost treatment technologies that
provide added value from the recovery of resources from
wastewater streams in the form of bioenergy generation, safe
wastewater for reuse, nutrient recovery and novel chemicals.
