WSRT Wet Wednesday Webinar: Stopping Storm Overflows with Keith Herbert

Wet Wednesday Webinar: How to Stop Untreated Sewage being Released to the Environment with Keith Herbert from Southern Water

The spilling of raw sewage into our rivers and seas via the use of storm overflow pipes, also known as Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) has been the subject of shocking news headlines for several years. Combining raw sewage with other pollutants in rainfall runoff from pavements and roads, these overflows discharge a very wide range of contaminants into our waterways. But what is being done about it?

Keith has worked in the water industry for nearly 20 years and has dedicated the last 4 years to reducing the use of storm overflows. Keith will be discussing how raw sewage gets into our waterways and presenting a range of methods for reducing the use of storm overflows from permitting, optimisation to catchment investigation and sustainable drainage systems (SuDS).

Join us for Keith's insight into this often contentious issue.
