Divining the Dutch delta’s destiny
To make sure large boats can secure passage without getting stuck, port managers coordinate the dredging of the rivers connecting the ports and harbours of Rotterdam to the sea.
The COD delusion?
A Chinese study published in December aims to quantify the role of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) - and its predominance as a way of measuring organic pollution - in causing unnecessary GHG emissions.
Using AI to avoid spills
A seemingly game-changing digital technology to reduce sewer network blockages and pollution is being rolled out by Yorkshire Water, in a contract recently awarded to Siemens.
Poisonous legacy
Arsenic in wells in Connecticut may be a legacy of past pesticide use on orchards, illustrating the extent to which toxic substances can linger in the ecosystem decades after they were first used.
Thermal hydrolysis boosts biogas production
Thermal hydrolysis is a two-stage process combining high-pressure heat treatment of the feedstock followed by rapid decompression.
Taking a natural approach to flood management in yorks
Farmers and landowners across three river catchments in Yorkshire and the North West are harnessing the power of nature in a pilot scheme to better protect the major road network from flooding.
Separator assists with SuDS
ACO Water Management has launched its new advanced hydrodynamic separator, the V-Septor.
Getting smart about new SuDS tech
There are times when the potential for a new technology can leapfrog the ability of a regulatory framework to deliver it. We must make sure that the rapid advances being made in digitally controlled rainwater reuse technologies are not caught in this trap, writes Mark Manning of water technology firm SDS.
Discharging a duty
Water industry intransigence and regulatory neglect seem to provide the backdrop to a sewage dumping scandal that has made headlines recently and emboldened citizen scientists and environmental campaigners. Will 2022 be the year water companies are finally forced to get their act together, asks Envirotec.
Sites must fulfil water protection obligations
With public attention on corporate environmental activities, there is particular pressure on industrial companies to limit their impact on the local water environment, says Adam Parmenter, industrial sales manager at WPL.
