WWEM (Water and Wastewater Environmental Monitoring) is an event comprised of a Conference, Workshops and Exhibition, all focused on the provision of the latest help and guidance on the monitoring of water.

It will take place at the Bretby Conference centre near Burton-on-Trent on 29th and 30th June 2005.

Catherine Wright, Head of Monitoring and Assessment for the Environment Agency, will speak at the WWEM Gala Dinner, and will also make presentations to those organisations that have achieved certification under the Agency's MCERTS scheme.

Manufacturers and suppliers of water and wastewater monitoring equipment and services have already fully booked the WWEM 2005 exhibition, and current bookings for Conference and Workshop delegate places indicate that reservations will close significantly in advance of the event.

The price for delegates is £50 plus VAT per day, and places are being allocated on a first come, first served basis.

The Environment Agency of England and Wales, is in the process of placing a greater emphasis on self-monitoring for those organisations with discharges or emissions to the environment.

The principal reason for this is to increase continuous monitoring, and at the same time increase the quality and quantity of data being collected.

Commenting on the importance of WWEM, Paul Wiggins from the Environment Agency says "MCERTS has been a resounding success in air emission monitoring, and the Environment Agency is building on that success with two schemes concerning discharges to water.

Firstly, Self-Monitoring of Effluent Flow which was introduced in January 2004, and secondly, Continuous Water Monitoring Equipment Product Certification.

WWEM provides an ideal opportunity to discover how the schemes are progressing and what the plans are for MCERTS in the future." Around 50 Workshop presentations will take place on both days on a wide variety of topics within a water monitoring theme.

These presentations will be given by some of the 63 exhibitors.
