Sensors & Instrumentation Knowledge Transfer Network Meeting on ‘Distributed Instrument Systems for Water Catchment Monitoring’

Jan 07 2008

The Sensors & Instrumentation Knowledge Transfer Network (SIKTN) believe that climate change, economic pressures and tightening regulatory requirements are creating new challenges in managing water catchment areas. This is creating a growing need for a systems approach to instrumentation in order to monitor the whole water catchment basin. Key drivers for new instrument systems are:
- better water resource management
- reduction in operational costs of monitoring programmes
- auditable conformance with environmental regulations

Many issues need to be addressed in the development of distributed instrument systems, including cost, reliability, ease of use, independent power sources, networking and integration.

The meeting is a great opportunity to gain insights the future instrumentation needs of the water industry and to find out about the exciting new approaches to meet these needs. Organisations presenting include the Environment Agency, United Utilities, Mott MacDonald, and leading researchers in the field. Information on funding available to support the development of new instrumentation systems will also be presented.
