Natalie Lamb and the networking questions: Water industry specific

I will be attending an event in a few weeks, The Institute of Water Annual Conference, where I need to have questions prepared regarding networking and the water industry, for their Meet the Leaders Event. I wanted to prepare some specific questions and also I thought keeping a record of them would be a good idea because it is good blog post material!

Water and the Environment

• How can we better engage with the public regarding increased water efficiency?
• People genuinely seem to care about microplastics in water. What is the next topic relating to water that is most likely to hit headlines next?
• Will water treatment and reuse be a topic that is ever covered in school?

Leadership & Careers

• How can we overcome the barriers between different teams e.g. cleanwater and water recycling
• What can you gain from having a mentor?
