In place of field trips, the afternoon of the second day was devoted to a Question and Answer Discussion Forum.

The keynote speaker was Brian D’Arcy who delivered a thought-provoking presentation on the regulator’s perspective on constructed wetlands and the best student poster entitled ‘Quantifying mixing in low velocity vegetated ponds’ was awarded to Patrick West, James Hart, Ian Guymer from the University of Warwick.
