CIWEM - CMS Conference: Surface Water Management - Direction, Policy & Practice

Thinking from across the world is helping to set out how surface water management fits into the broader context of water in the urban environment. The developing ideas envisage multiple benefits to society, the economy and the environment accruing from a wide variety of approaches. This conference is rooted in demonstrating the practical delivery of projects from a wide variety of perspectives in these current challenging times and will also set out a clear direction of travel.
