🎉 The B-WaterSmart project is coming to an end. It is traditionally time for a review but let’s not call it a review. Instead, our final project magazine summarizes the first steps of the journey that we want to continue in our Living Labs and beyond. Let us continue to learn from each other, to question existing solutions, and to rethink our water systems. Let’s B-WaterSmart! #watersmart #watersmartness #CE #circulareconomy #livinglab You can download our magazine here: https://lnkd.in/dbrYAQq5

A week ago, the University of Northampton and TANZ (Towards a Net Zero West Northants) co-hosted a webinar on Waste Minimisation Strategies & The Link to Net Zero. During this insightful session, experts discussed how waste minimization plays a crucial role in achieving reduced carbon emissions. By understanding the interconnectedness between waste management and carbon emissions, businesses and organizations can better succeed in their efforts to attain Net Zero. If you’re curious about the highlights, I recommend checking out the highlights Video

"Water is the source of life, and we must protect it." This September, Let's focus on driving innovative solutions in the water sector. My goals for the month: 1. Advocate for #policy changes that prioritize sustainable water use. 2. Information sharing on some of the #emergingtrends in the water sector that I believe will shape our future. 3. #Climateresilience in the water sector. What are your goals for September that contribute to the transformation of the water sector? I believe that through #collaboration and #thoughtful dialogue, we can create impactful changes. #Happynewmonth #cleanwater #bettertogether #sustainability

Reducing Non-Revenue Water is not just about financial sustainability for water utilities; it is about ensuring equitable access to a vital resource. By addressing NRW, we can improve water availability for all, particularly in regions where water scarcity poses a significant challenge. Through technological innovation, community engagement, and strategic investment, we can create more resilient and efficient water systems that meet the needs of today and the future. Water is a shared resource, and its management requires collective responsibility and action. By tackling the issue of NRW, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of millions and contribute to a more sustainable and water-secure world.

💚Green flag: When a company understands that #Conservation is good #Business Here are three simple ways businesses big or small can implement environmentally sustainable practices: 🐦Go #LightsOutTexas - turn off all non-essential lights from 11:00 PM - 6:00 AM during spring and fall bird migration season, saving birds and money! 🚰Invest in Less Water - reduce your water consumption by installing low-flow faucets, toilets, and smart meters.

What will you do when the tap runs dry?* We here in the West often hear terms such as “water scarcity” and “access to sanitary facilities” without really listening – I mean for us everything is so easy whether we need to get a glass of water to drink or to go to the toilet, and as a result we have become quite blasé. Oh yes, we have all heard of the SDGs, COP28, and UN predictions but as long as I can take my morning shower then my world is in order. And whilst the UN predicts that nearly two-thirds of the planet’s population will face water scarcity by 2050… we still quietly think to ourselves that is a long way away right? A little more than 25 years to be exact. But for some context, I imagine many of you reading this can remember the start of the new millennium. And I am sure many of you still remember where you were on New Year’s Eve 1999. Doesn’t seem so long ago, does it? Now let me tell you something … …Everyone is also going to remember where they were the day the taps run dry!* Some of you may have even got into the new trend of “prepping” – the world is a very uncertain place right now – and will appreciate that top of your list to survival is having a good source of water and the means to keep it clean – but this is a fight many millions are going through every day. Ahhh that is just a doomsday scenario, isn’t it? For us probably yes, for millions less fortunate - a daily occurrence. What can be done? There is no rocket science involved here, we simply have to look after our freshwater resources more carefully, and that starts by putting back into nature the water we have taken out to use in a clean state. As a first step that means building new sewage treatment plants to restore the natural water balance in countries where it is most needed – and that is the Dutch Clean Tech mission in a nutshell.

In this book chapter, you can see the relationship between river resources and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It highlights the specific connection with 11 SDGs and highlight the role of nature-based solutions, sustainability indicators, and indices within this concept. This topic is crucial for water researcher and those interested in river resource management. Hope you can see and make deep contribution in this way to manage river systems.
