| The
Foundation supports or participates in several Forums that facilitate
the interchange of information and define outstanding research needs in
specific topic areas. These are summarised below. Select their links to
view their latest activities and outputs. |
| Environmental
Economics |
Following the
completion and publication of the Manual on Assessing the Benefits of
Surface Water Quality Improvements and support from FWR Members, the
Foundation took the initiative for setting up this Forum. It
facilitates the co-ordination of research activity on environmental
economics for all three sectors - air, land and water - initially in
the UK but eventually at an International level. |
| Eutrophication |
To identify
research, collate knowledge and disseminate information on
eutrophication as relevant to the conditions that can occur in UK
waters. |
| Groundwater |
A focus for the
identification and prioritisation of research issues to ensure that
groundwater plays its full part in meeting the needs of society and the
environment. This Forum has its own Website and
details and a link are provided on the above Groundwater Forum Web page. |
| Wastewater |
To provide a means
whereby UK operators, regulators and the research community can
identify priority research needs across the wastewater sector
(including related environmental and public perception issues);
stimulate the development of appropriate programmes and disseminate
results so as to optimise public domain research effort and maximise
the benefits of such research. |
