Resilience of Clean and Wastewater Networks in the UK
RESILIENCE OF CLEAN AND WASTEWATER NETWORKS IN THE UK
Workshop Tuesday 25th November 2014
Loughborough University, Sir Denis Rooke Building, Holywell Park
Amongst all the challenges for water supply resilience the infrastructure for clean and waste water networks is a basic priority. Renovating, expanding and maintaining the water infrastructure require collaborative approaches from all the stake holders. Systems science and engineering provide the tools to understand, analyse, and predict the behaviour of such complex systems. Systems-NET organised this workshop to discuss how systems science and engineering can support the development of a water system over the next following decades that remains reliable as population grows, demand increases and climate changes. This workshop is a follow-up from the “Water Supply Resilience in the UK” that took place in July 2014.
The first half of the workshop was an opportunity for academics and industrialist to present their research and ideas. The second half of the workshop focused on the key challenges and how systems science and engineering can contribute to find solutions.
