Summary

In ‘Troubled Waters’, we look at a topic that we can all relate to, especially with the recent flooding experienced across the country and the memory of last summer’s droughts fresh in our minds. We take a ‘deep dive’ into the challenges we face today around water management in the UK. Taking part in this episode are Buro Happold experts Duncan Ker-Reid, Technical Director, Water, and Louise Clarke, Associate, Water. Joining them we have a very special guest, Dr. Tom McNamara. Tom is a leading scientist in his field and is the founder of FreeUp - a company that enables water quality/water event monitoring and prediction. This episode introduces you to Andy Duncan, who will be our regular host for this podcast series. Andy asks the questions that you want to hear the answers to and will help de-mystify some of the more technical terms mentioned, whilst perhaps enjoying dropping one too many puns along the way! Listen in as our guests discuss potential nationwide solutions for our water management in the UK, and also suggest ways in which we as individuals can help in moving towards answers to this ever-increasing problem. Subscribe to the whole series; Sometimes we’ll tackle a subject head on, sometimes a sideways view - but always with curiosity, expertise and maybe even a dash of humour.
