Additional information about the Centre for Water Science

The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) has awarded £5.8 million of funding for a collaborative Industrial Doctoral Centre (IDC) for the water sector. Known as the STREAM programme, the Centre for Water Science is coordinating a consortium of five collaborating universities.

Water Science represents the University as a founder member of WSUP, Water and Sanitation for the Urban Poor, working in Asia and Africa. We also provide the registered office and the Honorary Secretary for UKIA, the UK Irrigation Association. In 2005 we initiated Water Innovate as a spin-out company.

The Centre for Water Science attracts international students and post-doctoral researchers to participate in our courses and research programmes. We are regularly joined by research and teaching staff from other institutions. Our conferences are recognised as major events for water sector professionals. Attendance of our short courses often counts towards continuing professional development (CPD). Professional bodies such as the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM) recognise our courses. Water Science students go on to successful careers in the sector; our alumni are an important network in their own right.
