| Description | During the development of this grant a new procedure to curate and analyse data for the Chemicals Investigation Programme (CIP) has been developed. Strong evidence of the importance of considering season, time, and date for the understanding of the CIP data has been also provided. |
| Exploitation Route | The CIP is about to start its 3rd stage, and the findings will be useful for its definition. Stages 1 and 2 of the CIP are being used to understand the sources of pathways and destiny of chemicals reaching wastewater treatment plants. Therefore, mentioned findings will provide a deeper insight on the meaning of the presence of pollutants in wastewater. This information will be of great use for water companies and the policy makers alike. |
| Sectors | Agriculture Food and Drink Chemicals Government Democracy and Justice |
| Description | Outcomes are being used to define the third stage of UKWIR's CIP Programme. |

| Description | Panellist at TWENTY65 Conference |
| Form Of Engagement Activity | A talk or presentation |
| Part Of Official Scheme? | No |
| Geographic Reach | National |
| Primary Audience | Industry/Business |
| Results and Impact | In this conference gathered representatives from all the major water companies (from innovation and operations), policy makers and regulators, researchers, tier1 contractors, other supply chain companies, technology developers innovating in the sector and trade & membership groups supporting the water industry. It was an interactive conference, presenting cutting-edge theory and stimulating discussion to demonstrate how collectively we can translate ideas into practice and inspire collaborative working throughout the sector. The areas of interest were mainly: • Future Scenarios • Behavioural Change - the role of public engagement in water management • Big Data - where are we really with this? • The value of water • Water Citizenship • Demand based technologies • Regulatory change • Zero waste, zero water networks • Smart adaptive systems and sensors • Needs & Challenges |
