Connecting Welsh researchers, policymakers, water companies and communities with an interest in water regulation and reservoir management to share information and knowledge, and to better understand the issues and identify targeted management options associated with water reservoir management.
Purpose of the group
- Promote communication and knowledge sharing between water industry members and researchers in order to facilitate long-term partnerships to enable end-user directed research that increase the understanding and support the management of water quantity and quality issues – for example, in-reservoir water quality, drought resilience, downstream impacts of dams – throughout the UK, and beyond promoting the establishment of a holistic approach from upstream catchment management to in-reservoir solutions.
- Assess existing gaps of knowledge and data that prevents a clear understanding of the causes of unsatisfactory reservoir performance.
- Identify and secure resources to enable relevant research to take place.
