The conference will focus on monitoring of rivers and lakes, and we have discussed this with the IWA Specialist Group Instrumentation, Control and Automation. We have their support for the conference.

The conference will be base around the vision of the EU H2020 project INTCATCH, which aims to deliver innovation in water quality monitoring to take on many of the challenges faced in improving water quality in our rivers and lakes. INTCATCH aims to bring together, validate and exploit a range of innovative monitoring tools for river and lake water quality into a single efficient and replicable business model that is fit for European waters in the period 2020-2050.
