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/...

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.

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.

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

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.
