Some sad facts about WATER #watermanagement #watertreatment #waterislife At least at GreenFusion Innovations we have a Modular Water Treatment & Environmental Remediation Solution that will fit right into these problems. Each patented modular system treats 1,000,000 liters per day within a smaller energy footprint. The system can also be deployed in confined spaces and retrofit older treatment facilities.

My latest opinion article in Smart Water Magazine 💧 on the topic of water mismanagement, whose solution needs to come before any attempts on the creation of new water sources through water reuse or desalination. #WaterManagement #Sustainability #WaterScarcity #ClimateChange #Desalination #ResourceManagement #Agriculture #UrbanDevelopment #Infrastructure #GroundwaterManagement #EquitableAccess #CommunityDevelopment #PolicyMaking #Conservation #EnvironmentalImpact #GlobalChallenges #AdaptiveStrategies #Innovation #PublicAwareness #Collaboration Disclaimer: Opinions expressed are solely my own and do not represent the views or opinions of my employer.

As we commemorate Human Rights month and observe water week, it is imperative to understand that access to water is an inherent right for every individual. Given the irreplaceable nature of water, it is incumbent upon us to diligently safeguard and manage our water reservoirs. My latest article on water security delves into the current state of South Africa’s water infrastructure, scrutinising the factors contributing to the shortcomings and offering insights into potential opportunities.

Adopting a multi-layered approach that integrates conservation measures, governance reforms and cross sectoral collaboration will safeguard water resources for future generations. The policy briefing https://lnkd.in/dQ8MnhTY looks at this in depth.

In his latest blog post, Christos Charisiadis spotlights the importance of addressing #water mismanagement before pursuing grand initiatives like desalination plants to combat water scarcity. It emphasizes the need to improve agricultural practices, upgrade ageing water infrastructure, regulate groundwater extraction, and implement equitable water distribution policies. https://lnkd.in/dnydTHcm #watermanagement #waterscarcity #desal #desalination

Continuing on my work researching sustainability in Queensland, Australia, my second focus topic was water. Australia is one of the driest continents on Earth, and throughout history, it has been plagued by alternating floods and droughts. These unpredictable weather events make it so hard for Queensland's water managers and suppliers, as the events reduce the reliability and availability of water sources. Given factors like these and more, such as population growth Queensland's water supply and management is under a lot of pressure. The Queensland company FloodMapp's goal is to provide information rapidly to governments, first responders, and more when extreme weather events occur. It can also predict what the flooding may look like. To read more about problems and solutions within water management in Queensland, click the link below. https://lnkd.in/e3QjDupu #bergsus

For those in the industry, this shouldn't come as a shock, but personally there's something about seeing it written down like this that makes it hit home. It's worth mentioning that the headline is slightly at odds with the article itself, I don't know about anyone else but my first thought when I saw the headline was, "those pesky utilities are at it again!", but heavy rainfall, which is likely a product of climate change, is a large contributory factor too. The unfortunate upshot though is that too much sewage is being dumped into rivers. This is harming ecosystems and in some cases, it seems utilities aren't being held to account about it as much as they should be. Thames Water have almost finished a mammoth project that aims to address this issue in London, which I discussed in a newsletter last year, but what are other UK Water companies doing to tackle the problem? #sustainability #utilities #water #wastewater

Water is our province’s most important resource. Provincial growth cannot be achieved without it. Municipalities, agriculture, and the energy sector need it. In fact, everyone does. Effective water management today can ease pressure on future water supply tomorrow. However, climate change may shift the timing and type of SSRB water supplies. Read more:

Too easy to blame water companies for all wetland ills. Though far from innocent, there's diffuse pollution from agriculture seriously impacting our rivers, house-builders' legacy of deficient drainage, highways run-off, general public flushing noxious stuff down toilets or sinks. Then there's the system - privatisation was a bodge job. Monopoly water companies, crudely overseen by Ofwat, which obsessively looks at customer bills as the ultimate indicator, their way of addressing the "competition" issue. In the last business plan review, Southern Water carried out "willingness to pay" quantitative and qualitative surveys. The result: customers would pay more for protecting AND enhancing the environment. Ofwat rejected this, their simplistic mantra being to reduce the bill burden. Ofwat heavily penalised SW for mis-reporting (hiding their environmental breaches) - the fine was used to reduce bills, not tackle the environmental damage. EA also fined the company - the money went back to the Treasury; again, no payback to the environment. It's good to know there are some strong ethical people in the industry. It's a hard task battling the system. Keep your morale up, fighting from within can be a powerful motivator.
