Fluence Corporation Limited (ASX: FLC) has secured an industrial water treatment contract in Texas valued at approximately USD 3.7 million for the design and construction of a water treatment plant employing ultrafiltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO) technologies for a U.S. manufacturer located in Texas.Upon completion, the facility will have a design capacity of up to 1.5 million gallons per ...
Overview of groundwater-based natural infrastructure. Graphic: Groundwater Solutions Initiative for Policy and Practice Groundwater is increasingly used as a key source of water for both human consumption and economic activities. ...
Last week (July 2nd), utility company Yorkshire Water confirmed that reservoir levels have continued to drop amid the current heatwave, falling by 2.5 per cent to 55.8 per cent, which is significantly below the 81.9 per cent average for this time of year. In fact, reservoir stocks have been falling since late January and the warm weather we’ve seen since the start of the year has ...
More than £100 million in fines and penalties handed down to water companies since October 2023 and the government is now set to invest this cash into local community projects around the UK to clean up rivers, lakes and seas, addressing pollution and improving water quality. Since the Labour government came into power, a record 81 criminal investigations have been launched into water ...
Sustainable water management in Devon and Cornwall has hit the spotlight this month (April), showcasing what innovative alternative water sources are being created to drive benefits for both the environment and business alike, in response to the difficulties posed by the 2022 drought and the risks presented by climate change, now and into the future. ...
Commissioning of the Anabu Modular Treatment Plant (ModTP), which now contributes 12 MLD of potable water sourced from the Imus River. Reactivation and construction of deep wells, tapping additional groundwater sources to augment supply. ...
On January 14, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released the Draft Sewage Sludge Risk Assessment for Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctane Sulfonic Acid (PFOS) for public comment. The draft risk assessment reflects the agency’s latest scientific understanding of the potential risks to human health and the environment posed by the presence of PFOA and PFOS in sewage ...
The global water crisis is, of course, characterised by a lack of supply, with resources around the world at risk because of the combined forces of climate change, extreme weather events, population growth and increasing urbanisation… but it’s also essential that we consider water quality at the same time – and pollution is a growing problem for us all. While pollution ...
This year’s World Water Week is just under a month away, taking place between August 25th and 29th, with the aim being to drive progress on water cooperation under the theme of Bridging Borders: Water for a Peaceful and Sustainable Future. The hope is that awareness will be raised of key issues related to regional and global interconnectivity of nations and local communities, emphasising ...
By 2045, it’s expected that total water supply will decrease by seven per cent because of climate change and the growing need to prevent environmental damage to surface and groundwater sources alike. The majority of public water supply is obtained through abstraction, but if this is overdone it can lead to physical changes that in turn put local ...
Vapor intrusion occurs when there is a migration of vapor-forming chemicals from a subsurface source into an overlying building. This subsurface source is often contaminated groundwater or soil. ...
Successful plumbing engineering involves the comprehensive understanding and meticulous control of waterborne pathogens, with a particular focus on Legionella. These harmful pathogens can infiltrate building water systems through various means, such as contaminated water sources or inadequate water treatment. To effectively mitigate the risk of Legionella and other waterborne pathogens, ...
While there can be no denying that each region around the UK will face their own set of unique challenges in the future, it seems that the east of England in particular has potentially hard times ahead, with new research revealing that the next 20 years will see significant rainfall decreases, record high temperatures and more than 720,000 new residents in the area. Commissioned by Anglian Water ...
At this point, action must be taken to dilute chemical levels, or remove the water source from public supply altogether. Despite the fact that PFOS and PFOA are both now mostly banned, the investigation revealed that the former was detected in raw untreated water at 18 times the 100ng/l limit for drinking water, while PFOA was detected at 1.5 times the limit. ...
While recycled water offers multiple benefits compared to desalination of groundwater abstraction, a recent study indicates that this region is losing at least 54% of the nutrient-rich wastewater. ...
Its versatility caters to multiple application scenarios, including groundwater, municipal sewage, pollution sources, and surface water. FPI's exceptional products, coupled with the expertise of its sales team, drew a steady stream of visitors. ...

It goes without saying that water is essential for life, but for a quarter of the global population, there are times in the year when there is barely enough of it to go around. According to data from Aqueduct, the World Resources Institute suite of tools that measures various markers for potential water risks, 25 countries in the world are exposed to extremely high levels of water stress. This ...
A Met Office spokesperson was quoted by the news source as saying: “It has been dry. England has seen approaching a quarter of the rainfall that we would normally expect in February, although January was just over average. ...
The pilot program of Vitens is expected to run from October 2022 to Fall 2024. Today, groundwater is Vitens’ primary source for high quality and reliable drinking water production.
