In addition to the VISTA Consortium (see Pipe Network Mapping News item - 29/3/06) UKWIR has been involved in a number of projects and initiatives that stemmed from a multi-utility seminar in May 2002.

Now UKWIR has published a number of new reports on projects that have been undertaken on behalf of the Water Industry since that time:
