💧🌎📰 WIF Team Challenge Judging & Awards 2024 - Press Release - Interactive IWM Workshop Scoops Award British Water announces winners from the fourth annual Water Industry Forum Team Challenge, a competition bringing together young water professionals to form multi-stakeholder teams to work on a key sector challenge. Organised by the Water Industry Forum (WIF) which operates as a neutral and independent subsidiary of British Water, the theme for this year’s challenge was ‘The importance of Integrated Water Management (IWM) for the UK’s future water resilience’. Teams were asked to identify and pitch ideas to convey the importance of IWM to stakeholders. Nineteen organisations took part in the competition. The winning team comprised George Chandler (Skanska UK), Katrina Cullen (United Utilities), Charlotte Huntley (Aqua Consultants) and Ben Nicholson (RSE). The team survey of utility workers revealed a limited understanding of Integrated Water Management (IWM) and its advantages across different sectors. In response, the team created an interactive workshop to raise awareness of IWM and delivered this to different audiences. This interactive workshop aimed to improve awareness of IWM's benefits. “IWM moves away from piecemeal solutions towards a holistic approach to water challenges, promoting responsible use, conservation and resilience for a sustainable future,” said competition judge Louise Elliot, strategy & business growth director for the UK water business, WSP. “The winning submission demonstrated that before we start to solve the problem of integrated water management, we need to get back to basics and understand it. The winning team’s solution was actionable, achievable and rooted in sound research. Although it was focused on training water sector workers on IWM, it was also adaptable for different audiences.” (…) 🔗🔍Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eMjap_xf #WIFEvent #IWM #WaterSector #Innovation
