Using an activated-carbon filtering pitcher significantly reduces chemicals in tap water
A study conducted by Université Laval researchers concludes that using an activated-carbon filtering pitcher is the most effective way to reduce disinfection by-products in tap water. view more (2006-11-03)
Water fluoridation still a cost-effective preventive measure
Teams of investigators from the University of Melbourne and New South Wales Health today reported the results of a project investigating the impact of changing dental needs on the cost savings from community water fluoridation in Melbourne, Australia. view more (2006-06-30)
New system of wastewater treatment could reduce the size of treatment plants by half
A group of researchers from the University of Granada (Universidad de Granada) have come up with a wastewater treatment system which has three clear advantages with respect to systems currently used: it is possible to obtain cheaper water of a higher quality, it considerably reduces the size of treatment plants (by more than half) and it minimizes... view more...

Pure water without electricity
Many a visitor to Majorca - the island of choice for German and British vacationers - has made the bitter experience: The drinking water in some parts of the island is unbearably salty. Naturally, water treatment plant operators make a concerted effort to lower the salt and lime content of their water to acceptable levels by mixing in fresh water.... view more... (2002-07-22)
Recycling water in buildings by microbes
New information about how households and businesses can recycle and re-use their own water suggests that a submerged membrane bio-reactor could be the best method. The aim is to make water a more sustainable resource by reducing the amount that needs to be treated by large, central facilities. The work is being carried out in Cranfield... view more...

Bacteria and nanofilters - the future of clean water technology
Bacteria often get bad press, with those found in water often linked to illness and disease. But researchers at The University of Nottingham are using these tiny organisms alongside the very latest membrane filtration techniques to improve and refine water cleaning technology. view more (2008-02-25)
Waste water treatment plant mud used as 'green' fuel
Catalan scientists have shown that using mud from waste water treatment plants as a partial alternative fuel can enable cement factories to reduce their CO2 emissions and comply with the Kyoto Protocol, as well as posing no risk to human health and being profitable. view more (2009-06-24)
From frog skin to human colon: rapid responses to steroid hormones
New research on steroid hormone action in the human colon and kidney could pave the way for novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of hypertension and diarrhoea. Prof Brian Harvey at University College Cork has been studying how the hormones oestrogen and aldosterone produce rapid changes in the transport of salt and water through human... view more...
