The UK Water Network
Coordinated by Cranfield University, the UK Water Network is a collaboration that brings together academic, industry and research Institutions from around the UK to facilitate co-operative working and best practice, as well as promoting the great research that is undertaken by the UK water sector.
The objectives of the network are to:
- Encourage the transfer of ideas, best practice and develop improved engineering and system management processes in drinking water treatment and supply.
- Development of a UK knowledge centre to meet training and information needs for the potable water treatment and supply sector, particularly staff new to the sector.
- To disseminate the activities of the network through trade articles, meetings and conferences.
- To develop a coherent research strategy for potable water treatment and supply.
In addition, the following are priority activities for the Network:
- Sharing strategies for success with respect to training, research and development
- Providing visions, needs and views to outside bodies including professional organisations, funding bodies and government
- Facilitating collaborative research activity (for example multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral research).
