Neil Berwick

Neil Berwick is a Lecturer in the Department of Built Environment and Life Sciences at Abertay University, Faculty of Social and Applied Sciences. He is a water specialist with extensive experience in sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS), focusing on operation, management, and long-term maintenance. He has been with Abertay since 2009 and leads the BEng Civil & Environmental Engineering Placement Module and several SuDS CPD courses.

Research Interests:

• Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SuDS)
• Stormwater and Energy Efficiency in Water Cycle
• Public Understanding of Environmental Benefits
• Rural and Source Control Drainage
• Diffuse Pollution and Urban Runoff Management

His recent publications reflect a strong trend in applied environmental engineering, particularly in policy guidance, decision support tools, and practical implementation of SuDS across the UK and Mediterranean regions. Much of his work is collaborative, involving Scottish Government (CREW), EU Interreg, and EU MED projects.
