We need robust, integrated measurement of water use & wastewater generation across catchments & nationwide. Without it, we cannot improve efficiency, expand recycling and reuse, or secure long‑term water resilience. We need Government incentives to drive this. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

How England’s outdated water tracking system leaves regulators in the dark

Experts warn accurately monitoring consumption by bulk users such as farmers, datacentres and businesses can be all but impossible

I am also very much looking forward to moderating a Panel at the British Water "Innovation Summit 2025" in London at the end of this month. Jeremy Heath, Matthew Hughes, Gareth Richards, Andrea Rubini and I will be discussing "Showcasing Successfully Scaled Innovations". tinyurl.com/9asftx7y

Delighted to be moderating a Panel at the International Water Association "Water Horizons 2025" conference in London in just over 3 weeks time. Jo Harrison, Jeannette Henderson, Ben Tam and I will discuss the "Role of Innovation in Future Proofing Water Utilities". www.waterhorizonsevents.org/home

If new data centres add 71 TWh of energy demand, that means an increase in water demand of ~135 billion litres per year. Adopting circular economy strategies for water management should be the enabler. BBC News - Data centres to be expanded across UK as concerns mount www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Data centres to be expanded across UK as concerns mount

The number of data centres is set to jump by a fifth in the coming years, figures seen by the BBC suggest.

I'll be at the Telford International Centre next Tuesday and Wednesday, for the European Wastewater Management Conference & Exhibition. Looking forward to a packed programme, and to chairing a Circular Economy session. Programme: shorturl.at/iRicC Registration: shorturl.at/aovHL See you there!

Delighted to be working with Northumbrian Water, Waterwhelm, AtkinsRéalis, SSE Thermal & others to deliver high purity water from treated final effluent using waste heat. The recovered water will be reused in industry, thereby reducing fresh water demand & demonstrating a circular economy approach.

Researchers from Bath’s Water Innovation and Research Consortium (WIRC@Bath) will lead the first large-scale demonstration of a technology to create ultra-pure water from wastewater after winning major funding from UK water regulator Ofwat. www.bath.ac.uk/announcement... #Research #Water

The UK will waste 8 million chocolate eggs this Easter, which is about 10% of what is purchased over the counter. This has a water footprint of about 38.4 billion litres, equivalent to roughly 15,360 Olympic swimming pools worth of water.

About 80% of micropollutants come from pharmaceutical or cosmetic use, so why should the manufacturers of such products not pay towards wastewater treatment? www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

Who should pay for urban wastewater treatment?

The pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries have gone to the EU's court to challenge a directive that requires them to finance at least 80% of urban wastewater treatment. #EuropeNews

Prof Davey Jones from Bangor University has kicked things off at our launch today. Davey is talking about the potential use of WBE for monitoring AMR in healthcare & environmental settings.

Yesterday marked #WorldWaterDay, and we're celebrating what happens when you give rivers the room to do what they do best. Making #SpaceForWater can take many forms - from reconnecting floodplains and establishing wetlands, to rewiggling watercourses and planting trees.

💧 On #WorldWaterDay, we want to highlight the importance of working towards safer drinking water. As a step in that direction, #ECHA is compiling an EU positive list of #chemicals that can be safely used in contact with drinking water 🌊🌊🌊. #EuropeanChemicalsAgency #DrinkingWaterEU #SaferWater

Climate change is making water more scarce, more unpredictable, more polluted or all three. We must adapt water management so that people and ecosystems can survive and thrive in a changing world. #QuestionsPeopleAsk ➡️ www.linkedin.com/pulse/questi... #WaterAction #ClimateAction

There are many ways we can protect, conserve and recycle water, eg: 💧Rainwater harvesting 🌱Climate-smart agriculture ♻️Reusing wastewater in industry 🤝Cooperating on transboundary water resource #QuestionsPeopleAsk on #WaterAction = #ClimateAction ➡️ www.linkedin.com/pulse/questi...

How does water mitigate climate change? Safely managed water & sanitation systems reduce greenhouse gases from human waste. Water is also crucial for clean energy generation. #QuestionsPeopleAsk on #WaterAction = #ClimateAction ➡️ www.linkedin.com/pulse/questi...

Glacial retreat threatens devastation. For billions of people, meltwater flows are changing, causing floods, droughts, landslides and sea level rise, and damaging ecosystems. #WorldWaterDay www.worldwaterday.org

#Glaciers are melting at an alarming rate, making the water cycle more unpredictable and putting communities and ecosystems at risk. Preserving them is crucial in addressing climate change and the global water crisis. #QuestionsPeopleAsk for #WorldWaterDay www.linkedin.com/pulse/questi...

As the planet gets hotter, our glaciers are disappearing—fast. ❄️ This retreat is making the water cycle more extreme and unpredictable, threatening ecosystems, communities, and future water security. Glacier preservation is climate action. #WorldWaterDay 🌐 www.worldwaterday.org

Why are glaciers important? ❄️ They store water, protect ecosystems, and help stabilize our climate. Losing them puts our future at risk. 👉 www.linkedin.com/pulse/questi... #WorldWaterDay #WorldGlaciersDay #WaterAction is #ClimateAction let's #ActNow for #Glaciers2025

Glacier preservation is a survival strategy. ❄️ Reducing emissions and managing meltwater wisely is key to protecting people and the planet. 🌐 www.worldwaterday.org #WorldWaterDay #WorldGlaciersDay #Glaciers2025 #ActNow

Still time to sign up to join our Department of Chemical Engineering @SynHiSel1 Global Chair webinar on selective nanofiltration membranes, today, Tuesday 29th November, at 11:00 with Prof Chuyang Tang @ChuyangT. bit.ly/SynHiSel-Webin…

It was a pleasure to host the @WISECDT Poster Day at Bath this week. Lots of water science and engineering discussion, and a lovely social catch up with colleagues from @BristolUniWater, @Water_UofExeter, @CUWaterResearch and @CoastalResCU. @EPSRC, @NERCscience, @H20EU, @IWAHQ

Delighted to be supporting the @FutureWaterAsso Networks November events this year. In particular, our CoDirector @Tom_Arnot & @kishorejag are speaking at the "Super Cool Research" Event on 9th Nov. Details here:@Gw4Water @CIWEM @InstWater @H20EU @IWAHQ futurewaterassociation.com/events/?v=79cb…

Congratulations @HomanTomo for making it to the finals of the @WaterSensors ECR poster competition. Glad you had such a good time at the #WWEM2022 conference too! Great that our early career colleagues are fully engaging with the UK water sector. @GW4FreshCDT @Gw4Water @H20EU
