Annual Lorch Lecture - Flood Resilient Cities
Cranfield University invites you to the Annual Lorch Lecture, this year the topic is Flood Resilient Cities given by Professor David Balmforth of MWH Global. The Annual Lorch Lecture is Cranfield Water Science’s prestige event which is funded from our endowment from the Lorch Foundation, a Charitable Trust founded to support and promote education and research in the field of water purification and related sciences. The foundation was established in 1979 by Dr Walter and Dr Diana Lorch who established our Institute at Cranfield University and the laboratory deionised water company Elga. Read More...

01/08/14 Filed in: Science
For an overview of the connection between AGWA and SESYNC, please visit our project site. Our June 2014 workshop encompassed three major tasks:
- Reach a full outline for the ecological decision scaling paper, integrating activities since workshop 2.
- Reach a brief outline the integration of economic flexibility tools into a decision pathways approach, identifying one or more case studies. This can serve as the basis for a full outline and completion of the drafting/submission process.
- Initiate a broader discussion about how to transition the broadly defined variables (connectivity, heterogeneity, and flow regime distortion) for enabling aquatic ecosystem adaptation into operational, management, and remote sensing variables. These discussion included an extended group of participants (ODI, NASA, Ramsar and GEOBON, and in absentia WMO, UNESCO, and the World Bank).
Adaptation to Climate Change Impacts: Urban Resiliency
01/08/14 Filed in: Workshop
The impact of climate change on the safety and security of water supply is pushing cities to adapt and reassess their approaches to water supply and urban storage and drainage. This workshop is an opportunity to highlight approaches developed across cities and utilities to adapt to the impacts of climate change especially floods and droughts.
