The following are some useful web links for drainage engineers:-
|
| The Society of Public Health Engineers - a new professional body that seeks to redress the problem that PHEs have no professional body to represent them. The web site will give details of the aims and objectives of the Society, and entry methods, with the appropriate qualifications. |
| The Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineers was the traditional way for PHEs to enter the profession. Details of membership grades and the qualifications required may found on this site. Details may also be found about the latest Plumbing Engineering Services Design Guide. |
|
| The Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management took over the old Institute of Public Health Engineers. The web site will give details of the aims and objectives of the institute, and entry methods, with the appropriate qualifications. |
 | H R Wallingford - "An independent company specialising in consultancy and research in civil engineering hydraulics and the water environment" |
 | Centre For Ecology and Hydrology - CEH is a centre for research in the land and freshwater environmental sciences. Research is aimed at improving the understanding of the environment as we see it today, and the natural processes that underlie the Earth's support systems - for example climate & water resources. There is particular interest in the impacts of human activity on natural environments |
The following sites are sources of climatic information for rainfall and temperature:-
The Met Office site has data from the mid-17th century (CET), and the mid 18th century (rainfall). The UEA site has the last decade, and is more up to date than the Met Office site.
There are so many manufactures of drainage and allied products that it is not possible to list them here - each engineer probably has their own list of favourite, well known sites. However, if you find an obscure, but relevant site, please contact us and we will include it .
