Effluent Flow Monitoring and CSOs

Date: 29th February 2012

Location: Hereford Waterworks Museum

Monitoring what enters watercourses and the sea from various sources has become second nature now to the British water industry.  The Mcerts certification scheme for effluent flow monitoring has driven up standards of measurement and focussed minds on how well the associated instrumentation works. 

CSO monitoring is now ubiquitous with upgraded consents forcing the pace of new monitoring, initially for shellfish waters but now also for bathing waters.  The revised bathing waters directive (2006) is the driver for this:  it comes into force in 2015, when all bathing waters will have to be at least in the “sufficient” category of bathing water quality.  There is now increased awareness by the public on the existence of CSOs and a desire to know what impact, if any, they have on bathing water and shellfish quality. This follows high profile programmes such as Panorama in 2009.

This workshop provides an update on the latest news on Mcerts, effluent flow measurement and CSO monitoring.
