Event Description
For this event, we will be joined by three speakers, outlined below, to discuss how their work aids in the achievement of the sixth goal of sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.
Speaker 1: Debbie Chapman
Before moving to Ireland in 1990, she was Deputy Director of the UNEP GEMS Monitoring and Assessment Research Centre (MARC) in King College London responsible for international training workshops and global environment data review and assessment. She has 40 years of experience in water-related issues and her book Water Quality Assessments: a guide to the use of biota, sediments and water in environmental assessments, which was prepared with support from GEMS/Water in the 1990s, is a leading text on water quality monitoring and assessment. It is still sold all over the world and used as a student text and by Consultant Groups, Aid Agencies and Water Authorities.
In her current role in the GEMS/Water Centre at UCC, she is responsible for the development and delivery of in-situ and on-line training courses on water quality monitoring and assessment, and for the method development and support to countries in monitoring and reporting on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) indicator 6.3.2 for ambient water quality. In recent decades her research interests have focussed on water resources management, especially recreational and amenity lakes and reservoirs, developments and current practice in design and implementation of water quality monitoring programmes, and human health risk assessment in relation to the use of freshwater resources and wastewater disposal
