UKWIR is responsible for shaping and facilitating the water industry’s collaborative research agenda, drawing on the input of its water company members across the UK and Ireland.
WD News: UK Water Industry Research (UKWIR) is providing free access to over 1,000 of its water sector research reports aimed at helping to improve water and wastewater services for customers, and protecting the environment.
The research covers a broad spectrum of topics crucial to the UK and Irish water industries, such as protecting and improving drinking water quality, by reducing the industry’s carbon footprint.
In January 2023 the organisation updated its report library and launched a MyLibrary feature on its website to provide new ways to access, organise and share UKWIR’s work – supporting the organisation’s ambition to provide open access to its research for members, collaborators, regulators, academics, and other key stakeholders.
Steve Kaye, Chief Executive of UKWIR, said, “Open sharing of data and information plays a significant role in driving collaborative research, innovation, and learning across the water sector and beyond.”
Professor Joby Boxall, Chair of Water Infrastructure Engineering at the University of Sheffield, said, “This change increases opportunities for the academic and research communities to access, share and reuse the output of water industry research across different disciplines.”
