Our Mission
Our rivers need our help. With over 80% of UK waterways falling below “good” ecological status, it’s clear we must take bold action. That’s why we created CMaaS® – an innovative solution that monitors river health, pinpoints pollution sources, and enables proactive measures to revive our treasured waterways. But CMaaS isn’t just about environmental monitoring. It’s about rebuilding public trust. Section 82 of the Environment Act 2021 aims to bring transparency to the public around storm overflow monitoring. Event Duration Monitoring (EDM) highlighted that compliance alone isn’t sufficient to rebuild public trust. We need to go beyond an ‘end of pipe’ compliance approach, and that is exactly what CMaaS does.
Comprehensive Support for Section 82 Compliance
The CMaaS Consortium is a robust partnership of industry leaders led by Additive Catchments, including AtkinsRéalis, Galliford Try, Siemens, Isle Utilities, and the University of Plymouth. We offer unparalleled support for Section 82 continuous water quality monitoring. Our patent-pending RiverStations™ have been rigorously tested for accuracy, resilience, and reliability, ensuring high confidence in compliance.
Robust Technology You Can Trust
Our cutting-edge RiverStation™ units use advanced IoT sensor networks, AI analytics, and advanced lab-on-chip pollutant detection to continuously analyse vast environmental datasets – predicting trends that allow us to get ahead of issues before they become crises. CMaaS includes arms-length, ongoing data assurance in partnership with the University of Plymouth to ensure you – and the public – can always trust the data. Our preferred multi-parameter sonde solution is In-Situ, but we support multiple technology solutions, including YSI and RS Hydro.
Community-Powered River Care
We foster collaborative partnerships with water companies, regulators, local communities, and environmental champions. By demystifying complex data, we empower collective efforts to revive river ecosystems. Our integrated community engagement app transforms Section 82 compliance into an opportunity to rebuild public trust. We also conduct market research to track trust levels, supported by academic data assurance, all designed to build trust.
Flexible and Cost-Effective
CMaaS offers flexible commercial models through XaaS, leasing, and managed service options. But the real value? Reducing river monitoring costs by 43%, rollout time by 75%, and delivering the service net-zero. No matter the model selected, the price includes catchment planning, site surveys, landowner access permissions, installation, hardware, software, and ongoing maintenance and calibration as a turnkey solution. CMaaS also offers a range of additional benefits, including dynamic source apportionment, nutrient monitoring, predictive maintenance, and bathing water monitoring.
Flowing with Positive Change
At the heart of CMaaS is a non-profit ethos and commitment to environmental impact. Our mission? To restore biodiversity, safeguard public health, and renew faith in how we collectively steward our rivers. Through data democratisation and inclusive policy-making, we’re building a future of open, responsible river management that maximises every investment. The clock is ticking to revive our rivers. But by harnessing innovation, fostering cooperation, and centring community-led progress, CMaaS lights the way towards a future of swimmable, drinkable, trusted waterways.
