With the continuing concerns about climate change, flooding and water quality in the Yorkshire and Humber regions, we will host the fifth annual conference in collaboration with the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM).
ICE YH Committee member Roger Falconer heads up the conference planning panel and is cultivating an interesting and comprehensive programme for the day, with expert speakers and panelists. He will chair the conference and bring together all key stakeholders engaged in flood risk management and water quality, to discuss a range of solutions to reduce risk, enhance resilience and adapt for future climate change impacts.
The aim is to work together to deliver the best solutions for residents and business communities within the region to reduce the impacts of flooding in the future, with more resilient solutions, adapted for climate change.
Speakers and a full programme for the day will be announced soon.
