This month:
1. Little Ouse Headwaters Project wins Living Wetlands Award
After receiving a record number of high standard entries, the winner of this year’s RSPB/CIWEM Living Wetlands Award is The Little Ouse Headwaters Project (LOHP). Announced at the CIWEM World Wetlands Day conference in London, judges praised the scheme for its positive voluntary and community effort to deliver long term sustainable benefits, increase BAP (Biodiversity Action Plan) species and encourage involvement through education and open public access.
The Little Ouse corridor once held the most extensive area of valley fenland in England, but in the past two centuries, there have been radical changes to the course of the river, with the channel being deepened and much of the valley converted into arable farmland. The Little Ouse Headwaters Charity has worked for years to reverse the damage to wildlife, bringing back birds, frogs, plants and other wildlife to wetlands on the Norfolk and Suffolk border.
Activities such as removal of agricultural waste, changes in land use, pollarding, scrub clearance and grazing regimes have been conducted and are already proving of benefit to the huge range of species that they support. It is hoped that as a result of the projects work, the wetlands created can play a key role in flood risk management, groundwater recharge, and improvements to water quality.
The LOHP will be presented with the Mance Memorial Trophy, in memory of the late Director of Water Management for the Environment Agency Geoff Mance, and £1,500 to be used to fund the delivery of further UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) targets. The formal presentation will take place at the CIWEM Annual Dinner at Drapers Hall 5th April.
This year an additional category was added the Small Living Wetland Award, with the winner receiving a cheque for £500, as sponsored by the CIWEM East Midlands Branch.
The winner of this category is Scrayingham Ecological Wastewater Treatment System, submitted by Yorkshire water. This system illustrates a prime example of innovation in the water industry. The judges were particularly impressed with the example this project sets, its wider impact on improvements downstream and its low energy consumption.
2. CIWEM Annual Conference – First Announcement and Call for Papers
CIWEM’s 4th Annual Conference – Emerging Environmental Issues and Future Challenges – will be held on 12th – 14th September 2006 at St James’ Park, Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
Whilst maintaining those activities which have proved attractive over the previous three years, a number of additions are being made to the format in order to widen the participation of the membership. This year’s event will feature a number of technical sessions organised around submitted papers and arranged into key themes identified by the CIWEM Technical Panels. Each day will see four such sessions running concurrently. The technical events are intended to reflect the strengths of the Institution as well as highlighting future policy directions and we are inviting abstracts to enable us to select papers for each of the key areas, namely:
- Wastewater Treatment
- Odour Management
- Water Resources and Quality Issues
- Flood Risk Management and Drainage
- Wastes Management
- Infrastructure Asset Management
However, we encourage submission of abstracts across the full breadth of activities undertaken by the membership and these will be organised into appropriate themes based on responses to the Call.
Further features of the conference to note are a 1-day session devoted to the interests of young members, a range of small workshop sessions on subjects such as Preparing an Odour Management Plan; Energy Saving Initiatives in Wastewater Treatment, or Reducing the Burden of Regulation. Proposals for other workshops will be welcomed. An innovation this year will be an hourly plenary session on each day where high profile, invited speakers will debate key issues identified by the Conference organising committee. CIWEM’s Annual General meeting will also be held during the event.
For further information and to view the call for papers, please visit: http://www.ciwem.org/events/4th_CIWEM_Conference_-_Sep_2006.pdf
3. Picturing the Environment – Last entries this month!
CIWEM is inviting entries for the third international WEM Environmental Photographer of the Year competition. The judges, including Baroness Barbara Young of the Environment Agency, will decide the winner of the first prize: £250-worth of vouchers to be spent on photographic equipment.
In addition, this year CIWEM is particularly encouraging entries that reflect the following themes:
- Conservation and biodiversity
- Flooding and drought
- Technical progress, innovation and projects in an environmental context
- Environmental damage.
Nick Reeves, CIWEM Executive Director, said:
“CIWEM is helping to highlight the small window of opportunity we have to make a difference on climate change. We hope that people of all ages will take this opportunity to look creatively at how we can get the environmental message across simply and effectively using pictures.”
Last year’s competition was won by Richard Hall, an amateur photographer from Yorkshire, for his picture of coastal sand dunes near Walberswick, Suffolk. Richard was also the winner of the People in the Environment category of the competition, and Simon Coutts won the Engineering in the Environment category for his picture of an old windmill and modern wind turbines.
The winning image will be available as a limited edition framed print, will feature in Water and Environment Magazine, CIWEM’s international publication, and will be promoted by CIWEM to the national media.
The closing date for entries is Friday 31 March 2006, and the winner will be announced on June 5th, World Environment Day. Anyone interested in entering the 2006 competition should contact wem@leadmedia.co.uk or visit http://www.ciwem.org/awards/

10. New Think Tank set to Turn the Tide
On 20 January a panel comprising some of the most important and influential water and environmental experts in the UK met in London to discuss the single biggest threat to UK water resources - diffuse pollution.
The Forum for Water is a new think tank instigated by ADAS. The brainchild of Dr Stephen Bolt, their Head of Integrated Water and Environmental Management, the inaugural meeting was opened by ADAS CEO Steve Collier and Pamela Taylor, CEO Water UK.
Chairing the inaugural meeting, Dr Stephen Bolt said, “Water is the fundamental basis of all life, occupying almost three quarters of the Earth’s surface and central to almost every process occurring in both plants and animals.
“Although highly powerful, this hydrological system is, at the same time in an extremely delicate balance. Even small changes to composition and flow pattern can have significant knock-on effects further “down stream”. As our climate continues to change, it is increasingly likely that this sensitive balance will be upset, putting the future health and wellbeing of life on our planet in jeopardy. It is therefore critical that we act immediately to conserve and manage our most valuable resource.”
The Forum will meet on a regular basis to debate the protection of our water environment and resources, creating positive and constructive recommendations for sustainable water management with which to inform Government policy, and inspire the water sector.
11. Nominations for ETB Registrant Panel Elections 2006

16. Environmental Hazards and Risk Communication Conference
20-21 April – Royal Society, 6-9 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y 5AG
The nature and intensity of all types of environmental hazards are increasing globally, presenting a daunting challenge, not only for those involved in the modelling of hazard, but for those stakeholders involved in the estimation, mapping, management and mitigation of the associated societal risks. Despite huge advances in these fields, and a wide range of new tools to characterise the uncertainties embedded in hazard formulations by scientists, risk and uncertainty analysis is still very narrowly defined and understood within the scientific
community. To communicate effectively at a societal level, however, the form of the risk communication message must necessarily be simultaneously context-specific, sensitive to those scientific models of the hazard, and sensitive to the needs of the recipient audience.
In a risk-averse society, which is increasingly cluttered with risk messages and with expectations of the message, recipients all demand new and evolving approaches to the communication process. The conference will ask how the experiences of both scientists and risk communication practitioners inform their views on future progress in improving risk communication practice by addressing a range of important questions.
Conference attendance is free of charge and refreshments and lunch will be provided. Limited places are available – please contact the conference coordinator Lisa Clarke (L.Clarke@mdx.ac.uk) by Tuesday 28 February 2006 if you are able to attend or for further details.
17. Saltmarsh Creation Handbook
This groundbreaking book distils the best available knowledge on creating saltmarsh: a habitat that effectively combines nature conservation and flood defence. The saltmarsh creation handbook: a project manager’s guide to the creation of saltmarsh and intertidal mudflat is a practical guide from RSPB and CIWEM that sets out clearly how to restore and extend this vital part of our coastal landscape.
The 44,000 hectares of saltmarsh around the coasts of England, Scotland and Wales play host to a huge range of wildlife, and play a vital role in mitigating flooding and the damaging effects of storm surges, which are predicted to increase in size and frequency as a result of sea level rise due to climate change. Over the next few years, large areas of saltmarsh are likely to disappear under the sea as sea levels rise and stronger waves pound the coast, eroding the marshes and exposing sea defences to the full force of the sea’s impact.
The guide provides a comprehensive overview from start to finish of a project to create new areas of saltmarsh, including realistic timescales, and includes eight examples of saltmarsh creation projects of different scales. Topics covered range from engineering considerations and finding funding to stakeholder involvement and planning considerations. The authors make the process accessible and straightforward, focusing on detail including site selection, how to establish a mudflat, preparing an environmental impact assessment, equipment choice and engaging service providers.
The book is available from CIWEM (books@leadmedia.co.uk; www.ciwem.org/publications or tel 0870 3000690) at £29.99 + £4.95 p&p.
CIWEM is a vibrant environmental professional body which offers professional development, an impressive programme of local, national and international events, a magazine ten times a year, a quarterly journal, excellent networking opportunities and many other benefits.
