About SWIG

UK legislation, changing European Directives, competitive business pressures and customer expectations are driving change. Environmental, water and waste treatment and process industries are reviewing and exploring new ways to use both old and new sensor technology to monitor and control water quality. SWIG concentrates on activities which disseminate information on sensor developments and which foster collaboration. SWIG offers a cost effective way of maintaining an up to date knowledge of, and dissemination of, information on individual new technologies and/or sensor applications. SWIG workshops also consider the affect of existing and forecast regulations and legislation on the design and use of environmental and process measurements.

Aims and Objectives
