Our latest newsletter is packed with loads of information: catch up with the latest group design projects on hydrokinetic power inverters (HPC’s) and hydropower in irrigation systems; the role of WEEG in the new Environmental Biotechnology Innovation Centre (EBIC), IEA Task 37 and the EBNetwork’s Early Career Researcher conference.
This newsletter explores how oyster reefs prevent coastal erosion and how restoration of these reefs improves water quality, provides habitats and reduces erosion. Don’t miss the group design project on a horizontal wave paddle – and take a look at the facilities in our new laboratory building in Chilworth.
Most of us know that electricity and water don’t mix – but this latest newsletter explores the nexus between both. Included too, is a description of a great 3rd year project to design a 5 kW waterwheel for Bosham Mill, a description of our new hydraulic engineering facilities and more. …
One doesn’t normally associate floods with deserts, but flash floods aren’t uncommon in some of these dry places, as evidenced by this August 2022 flash flood in Death Valley where 38 mm of rain fell in only a few hours. Read more in our latest newsletter, catch up with the …
This issue is packed with disaster photos from a phenomenon known as water hammer which can occur in places as varied as hydropower projects and domestic pipework. There is an update on a PhD research project on tertiary wastewater treatment in Saudi, an MSc project opportunity on sludge dewaterability, the …
Once again, our latest newsletter does not disappoint. Find out what water rockets and squid have in common. Explore our latest research on the optimisation of algal raceways – and more…..
This newsletter takes a second deep dive (pun intended) into the history of hydraulic engineering structures, featuring the Archimedes Screw, ancient soil retention dams and a modern take on a floating waterwheel.
There have recently been a lot of headlines on water pollution caused by combined sewer overflows – is it the water companies fault? Climate change? Are people just noticing the pollution more? Read our latest newsletter to find out more about this – as well MSc topics, some history of …
There is no denying that water engineers can find commonality in topics as disparate as beaver dams and water. Learn more in this newsletter, as well as some of the work of the National Biofilms Innovation Centre and opportunities in water engineering.
Square waves, dyed rip currents and tsunamis – a perfect storm awaits you in our latest newsletter. Add the controversial topic of sewage discharges to water courses and the unsavoury topic of how fats, oils and greases (FOG) in sewers might be used to create energy and products – and …
